Online matching: A brief survey
Matching, capturing allocation of items to unit-demand buyers, or tasks to workers, or pairs of
collaborators, is a central problem in economics. Indeed, the growing prevalence of …

Dual mirror descent for online allocation problems
We consider online allocation problems with concave revenue functions and resource
constraints, which are central problems in revenue management and online advertising. In …

Adwords and generalized online matching
How does a search engine company decide what ads to display with each query so as to
maximize its revenue? This turns out to be a generalization of the online bipartite matching …

The adwords problem: online keyword matching with budgeted bidders under random permutations
We consider the problem of a search engine trying to assign a sequence of search keywords
to a set of competing bidders, each with a daily spending limit. The goal is to maximize the …
