Delaunay Triangulations with Predictions

Authors: Sergio Cabello, Timothy M. Chan, and Panos Giannopoulos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 362, 17th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2026)

Abstract
We investigate algorithms with predictions in computational geometry, specifically focusing on the basic problem of computing 2D Delaunay triangulations. Given a set P of n points in the plane and a triangulation G that serves as a "prediction" of the Delaunay triangulation, we would like to use G to compute the correct Delaunay triangulation DT(P) more quickly when G is "close" to DT(P). We obtain a variety of results of this type, under different deterministic and probabilistic settings, including the following: 1) Define D to be the number of edges in G that are not in DT(P). We present a deterministic algorithm to compute DT(P) from G in O(n + Dlog³ n) time, and a randomized algorithm in O(n+Dlog n) expected time, the latter of which is optimal in terms of D. 2) Let R be a random subset of the edges of DT(P), where each edge is chosen independently with probability ρ. Suppose G is any triangulation of P that contains R. We present an algorithm to compute DT(P) from G in O(nlog log n + nlog(1/ρ)) time with high probability. 3) Define d_{vio} to be the maximum number of points of P strictly inside the circumcircle of a triangle in G (the number is 0 if G is equal to DT(P)). We present a deterministic algorithm to compute DT(P) from G in O(nlog^*n + nlog d_{vio}) time. We also obtain results in similar settings for related problems such as 2D Euclidean minimum spanning trees, and hope that our work will open up a fruitful line of future research.

Nearly-Optimal Algorithm for Non-Clairvoyant Service with Delay

Authors: Noam Touitou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
We consider the online service with delay problem, in which a server traverses a metric space to serve requests that arrive over time. Requests gather individual delay cost while awaiting service, penalizing service latency; an algorithm seeks to minimize both its movement cost and the total delay cost. Algorithms for the problem (on general metric spaces) are only known for the clairvoyant model, where the algorithm knows future delay cost in advance (e.g., Azar et al., STOC'17; Azar and Touitou, FOCS'19; Touitou, STOC'23). However, in the non-clairvoyant setting, only negative results are known: where n is the size of the metric space and m is the number of requests, there are lower bounds of Ω(√n) and Ω(√m) on competitiveness (Azar et al., STOC'17), that hold even for randomized algorithms (Le et al., SODA'23). In this paper, we present the first algorithm for non-clairvoyant online service with delay. Our algorithm is deterministic and O(min{√n log n, √m log m})-competitive; combined with the lower bounds of Azar et al., this settles the correct competitive ratio for the problem up to logarithmic factors, in terms of both n and m.

Online Matching with Delays and Size-Based Costs

Authors: Yasushi Kawase and Tomohiro Nakayoshi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the problem of Online Matching with Delays and Size-based Costs (OMDSC). The OMDSC problem involves m requests arriving online. At any time, a group can be formed by matching any number of requests that have been received but remain unmatched. The cost associated with each group is determined by the waiting time for each request within the group and size-dependent cost. The size-dependent cost is specified by a penalty function. Our goal is to partition all the incoming requests into multiple groups while minimizing the total associated cost. This problem is an extension of the TCP acknowledgment problem proposed by Dooly et al. (J. ACM, 2001). It generalizes the cost model for sending acknowledgments. This study reveals the competitive ratios for a fundamental case, in which the penalty function takes only values of either 0 or 1. We classify such penalty functions into three distinct cases: (i) a fixed penalty of 1 regardless of the group size, (ii) a penalty of 0 if and only if the group size is a multiple of a specific integer k, and (iii) other situations. The problem in case (i) is equivalent to the TCP acknowledgment problem, for which Dooly et al. proposed a 2-competitive algorithm. For case (ii), we first show that natural algorithms that match all remaining requests are Ω(√k)-competitive. We then propose an O(log k / log log k)-competitive deterministic algorithm by carefully managing the match size and timing, and prove its optimality. For any penalty function in case (iii), we demonstrate the non-existence of a competitive online algorithm. Additionally, we discuss competitive ratios for other typical penalty functions that are not restricted to take values of 0 or 1.

Improved Algorithms for Online Rent Minimization Problem Under Unit-Size Jobs

Authors: Enze Sun, Zonghan Yang, and Yuhao Zhang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 274, 31st Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2023)

Abstract
We consider the Online Rent Minimization problem, where online jobs with release times, deadlines, and processing times must be scheduled on machines that can be rented for a fixed length period of T. The objective is to minimize the number of machine rents. This problem generalizes the Online Machine Minimization problem where machines can be rented for an infinite period, and both problems have an asymptotically optimal competitive ratio of O(log(p_max/p_min)) for general processing times, where p_max and p_min are the maximum and minimum processing times respectively. However, for small values of p_max/p_min, a better competitive ratio can be achieved by assuming unit-size jobs. Under this assumption, Devanur et al. (2014) gave an optimal e-competitive algorithm for Online Machine Minimization, and Chen and Zhang (2022) gave a (3e+7) ≈ 15.16-competitive algorithm for Online Rent Minimization. In this paper, we significantly improve the competitive ratio of the Online Rent Minimization problem under unit size to 6, by using a clean oracle-based online algorithm framework.
