Open AccessRandomized Online Computation with High Probability Guarantees
We study the relationship between the competitive ratio and the tail distribution of randomized online problems. To this end, we identify a broad class of online problems for which the existence of a randomize...

Treasure Hunt with Advice
The node searching problem (a.k.a. treasure hunt) is a fundamental task performed by mobile agents in a network and can be viewed as an online version of the shortest path problem: an agent starts in a vertex ...

Independent Set with Advice: The Impact of Graph Knowledge
We are interested in online graph problems where the knowledge of the underlying graph G (all arriving vertices are from G) has a profound impact on the size of the advice needed to solve the problem efficiently....

Online Graph Exploration with Advice
We study the problem of exploring an unknown undirected graph with non-negative edge weights. Starting at a distinguished initial vertex s, an agent must visit every vertex of the graph and return to s. Upon visi...

Routing in Carrier-Based Mobile Networks
The past years have seen an intense research effort directed at study of delay/disruption tolerant networks and related concepts (intermittently connected networks, opportunistic mobility networks). As a funda...

On the Advice Complexity of Online Problems
In this paper, we investigate to what extent the solution quality of online algorithms can be improved by allowing the algorithm to extract a given amount of information about the input. We consider the recent...

Rapid Almost-Complete Broadcasting in Faulty Networks
This paper studies the problem of broadcasting in synchronous point-to-point networks, where one initiator owns a piece of information that has to be transmitted to all other vertices as fast as possible. The ...

On Fractional Dynamic Faults with Threshold
Unlike localized communication failures that occur on a fixed (although a priori unknown) set of links, dynamic faults can occur on any link. Known also as mobile or ubiquitous faults, their presence makes many t...
