Online matching: A brief survey

Z Huang, ZG Tang, D Wajc - ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2024 - dl.acm.org
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 …

Online Dependent Rounding Schemes for Bipartite Matchings, with

J Naor, A Srinivasan, D Wajc - Proceedings of the 2025 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2025 - SIAM
We introduce the abstract problem of rounding an unknown fractional bipartite b-matching x
revealed online (eg, output by an online fractional algorithm), exposed node-by-node on …

Edge-weighted online bipartite matching

M Fahrbach, Z Huang, R Tao, M Zadimoghaddam - Journal of the ACM, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Online bipartite matching is one of the most fundamental problems in the online algorithms
literature. Karp, Vazirani, and Vazirani (STOC 1990) gave an elegant algorithm for …

[PDF][PDF] Online edge coloring is (nearly) as easy as offline

J Blikstad, O Svensson, R Vintan, D Wajc - Proceedings of the 56th …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
The classic theorem of Vizing (Diskret. Analiz.'64) asserts that any graph of maximum
degree Δ can be edge colored (offline) using no more than Δ+ 1 colors (with Δ being a trivial …

The power of multiple choices in online stochastic matching

Z Huang, X Shu, S Yan - Proceedings of the 54th Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study the power of multiple choices in online stochastic matching. Despite a long line of
research, existing algorithms still only consider two choices of offline neighbors for each …

Edge-weighted online stochastic matching: Beating

S Yan - Proceedings of the 2024 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2024 - SIAM
We study the edge-weighted online stochastic matching problem. Since [6] introduced the
online stochastic matching problem and proposed the ()-competitive Suggested Matching …

Improved online correlated selection

R Gao, Z He, Z Huang, Z Nie, B Yuan… - 2021 IEEE 62nd …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper studies online correlated selection (OCS). Suppose that we receive a pair of
elements in each round and select one of them. Can we select with negative correlation to …

Online bipartite matching with reusable resources

S Delong, A Farhadi, R Niazadeh, B Sivan - Proceedings of the 23rd …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study the classic online bipartite matching problem with a twist: offline nodes are
reusable any number of times. Every offline node i becomes available d steps after it was …

Class fairness in online matching

H Hosseini, Z Huang, A Igarashi, N Shah - Artificial Intelligence, 2024 - Elsevier
We initiate the study of fairness among classes of agents in online bipartite matching where
there is a given set of offline vertices (aka agents) and another set of vertices (aka items) that …
