Online Matching with Set and Concave Delays

Authors: Lindsey Deryckere and Seeun William Umboh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 275, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2023)

Abstract
We initiate the study of online problems with set delay, where the delay cost at any given time is an arbitrary function of the set of pending requests. In particular, we study the online min-cost perfect matching with set delay (MPMD-Set) problem, which generalises the online min-cost perfect matching with delay (MPMD) problem introduced by Emek et al. (STOC 2016). In MPMD, m requests arrive over time in a metric space of n points. When a request arrives the algorithm must choose to either match or delay the request. The goal is to create a perfect matching of all requests while minimising the sum of distances between matched requests, and the total delay costs incurred by each of the requests. In contrast to previous work we study MPMD-Set in the non-clairvoyant setting, where the algorithm does not know the future delay costs. We first show no algorithm is competitive in n or m. We then study the natural special case of size-based delay where the delay is a non-decreasing function of the number of unmatched requests. Our main result is the first non-clairvoyant algorithms for online min-cost perfect matching with size-based delay that are competitive in terms of m. In fact, these are the first non-clairvoyant algorithms for any variant of MPMD. A key technical ingredient is an analog of the symmetric difference of matchings that may be useful for other special classes of set delay. Furthermore, we prove a lower bound of Ω(n) for any deterministic algorithm and Ω(log n) for any randomised algorithm. These lower bounds also hold for clairvoyant algorithms. Finally, we also give an m-competitive deterministic algorithm for uniform concave delays in the clairvoyant setting.

Nested Active-Time Scheduling

Authors: Nairen Cao, Jeremy T. Fineman, Shi Li, Julián Mestre, Katina Russell, and Seeun William Umboh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 248, 33rd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2022)

Abstract
The active-time scheduling problem considers the problem of scheduling preemptible jobs with windows (release times and deadlines) on a parallel machine that can schedule up to g jobs during each timestep. The goal in the active-time problem is to minimize the number of active steps, i.e., timesteps in which at least one job is scheduled. In this way, the active time models parallel scheduling when there is a fixed cost for turning the machine on at each discrete step. This paper presents a 9/5-approximation algorithm for a special case of the active-time scheduling problem in which job windows are laminar (nested). This result improves on the previous best 2-approximation for the general case.

Online Weighted Cardinality Joint Replenishment Problem with Delay

Authors: Ryder Chen, Jahanvi Khatkar, and Seeun William Umboh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 229, 49th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2022)

Abstract
We study a generalization of the classic Online Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) with Delays that we call the Online Weighted Cardinality JRP with Delays. The JRP is an extensively studied inventory management problem wherein requests for different item types arrive at various points in time. A request is served by ordering its corresponding item type. The cost of serving a set of requests depends on the item types ordered. Furthermore, each request incurs a delay penalty while it is left unserved. The objective is to minimise the total service and delay costs. In the Weighted Cardinality JRP, each item type has a positive weight and the cost of ordering is a non-decreasing, concave function of the total weight of the item types ordered. This problem was first considered in the offline setting by Cheung et al. (2015) but nothing is known in the online setting. Our main result is a deterministic, constant competitive algorithm for this problem.

On the Extended TSP Problem

Authors: Julián Mestre, Sergey Pupyrev, and Seeun William Umboh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 212, 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)

Abstract
We initiate the theoretical study of Ext-TSP, a problem that originates in the area of profile-guided binary optimization. Given a graph G = (V, E) with positive edge weights w: E → R^+, and a non-increasing discount function f(⋅) such that f(1) = 1 and f(i) = 0 for i > k, for some parameter k that is part of the problem definition. The problem is to sequence the vertices V so as to maximize ∑_{(u, v) ∈ E} f(|d_u - d_v|)⋅ w(u,v), where d_v ∈ {1, …, |V|} is the position of vertex v in the sequence. We show that Ext-TSP is APX-hard to approximate in general and we give a (k+1)-approximation algorithm for general graphs and a PTAS for some sparse graph classes such as planar or treewidth-bounded graphs. Interestingly, the problem remains challenging even on very simple graph classes; indeed, there is no exact n^o(k) time algorithm for trees unless the ETH fails. We complement this negative result with an exact n^O(k) time algorithm for trees.

The Online Broadcast Range-Assignment Problem

Authors: Mark de Berg, Aleksandar Markovic, and Seeun William Umboh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 181, 31st International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2020)

Abstract
Let P = {p₀,…,p_{n-1}} be a set of points in ℝ^d, modeling devices in a wireless network. A range assignment assigns a range r(p_i) to each point p_i ∈ P, thus inducing a directed communication graph 𝒢_r in which there is a directed edge (p_i,p_j) iff dist(p_i, p_j) ⩽ r(p_i), where dist(p_i,p_j) denotes the distance between p_i and p_j. The range-assignment problem is to assign the transmission ranges such that 𝒢_r has a certain desirable property, while minimizing the cost of the assignment; here the cost is given by ∑_{p_i ∈ P} r(p_i)^α, for some constant α > 1 called the distance-power gradient. We introduce the online version of the range-assignment problem, where the points p_j arrive one by one, and the range assignment has to be updated at each arrival. Following the standard in online algorithms, resources given out cannot be taken away - in our case this means that the transmission ranges will never decrease. The property we want to maintain is that 𝒢_r has a broadcast tree rooted at the first point p₀. Our results include the following. - We prove that already in ℝ¹, a 1-competitive algorithm does not exist. In particular, for distance-power gradient α = 2 any online algorithm has competitive ratio at least 1.57. - For points in ℝ¹ and ℝ², we analyze two natural strategies for updating the range assignment upon the arrival of a new point p_j. The strategies do not change the assignment if p_j is already within range of an existing point, otherwise they increase the range of a single point, as follows: Nearest-Neighbor (NN) increases the range of NN(p_j), the nearest neighbor of p_j, to dist(p_j, NN(p_j)), and Cheapest Increase (CI) increases the range of the point p_i for which the resulting cost increase to be able to reach the new point p_j is minimal. We give lower and upper bounds on the competitive ratio of these strategies as a function of the distance-power gradient α. We also analyze the following variant of NN in ℝ² for α = 2: 2-Nearest-Neighbor (2-NN) increases the range of NN(p_j) to 2⋅ dist(p_j,NN(p_j)), - We generalize the problem to points in arbitrary metric spaces, where we present an O(log n)-competitive algorithm.

Tight Bounds for Online Weighted Tree Augmentation

Authors: Joseph (Seffi) Naor, Seeun William Umboh, and David P. Williamson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 132, 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2019)

Abstract
The Weighted Tree Augmentation problem (WTAP) is a fundamental problem in network design. In this paper, we consider this problem in the online setting. We are given an n-vertex spanning tree T and an additional set L of edges (called links) with costs. Then, terminal pairs arrive one-by-one and our task is to maintain a low-cost subset of links F such that every terminal pair that has arrived so far is 2-edge-connected in T cup F. This online problem was first studied by Gupta, Krishnaswamy and Ravi (SICOMP 2012) who used it as a subroutine for the online survivable network design problem. They gave a deterministic O(log^2 n)-competitive algorithm and showed an Omega(log n) lower bound on the competitive ratio of randomized algorithms. The case when T is a path is also interesting: it is exactly the online interval set cover problem, which also captures as a special case the parking permit problem studied by Meyerson (FOCS 2005). The contribution of this paper is to give tight results for online weighted tree and path augmentation problems. The main result of this work is a deterministic O(log n)-competitive algorithm for online WTAP, which is tight up to constant factors.
