We consider the problem of scheduling a sequence of packets over a linear network, where every packet has a source and a target, as well as a release time and a deadline by which it must arrive at its target. The model we consider is bufferless, where packets are not allowed to be buffered in nodes along their paths other than at their source. This model applies to optical networks where opto-electronic conversion is costly, and packets mostly travel through bufferless hops. The offline version of this problem was previously studied in M. Adler et al. (2002) [3]. In this paper we study the online version of the problem, where we are required to schedule the packets without knowledge of future packet arrivals. We use competitive analysis to evaluate the performance of our algorithms. We present the first online algorithms for several versions of the problem. For the problem of throughput maximization, where all packets have uniform weights, we give an algorithm with a logarithmic competitive ratio, and present some lower bounds. For other weight functions, we show algorithms that achieve optimal competitive ratios. 相似文献

A long-standing conjecture of Erd?s and Simonovits is that ex(n,C2k), the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex graph without a 2k-gon is asymptotically as n tends to infinity. This was known almost 40 years ago in the case of quadrilaterals. In this paper, we construct a counterexample to the conjecture in the case of hexagons. For infinitely many n, we prove that

We introduce a new graph parameter, called the Grothendieck constant of a graph G=(V,E), which is defined as the least constant K such that for every A:E→ℝ,
The classical Grothendieck inequality corresponds to the case of bipartite graphs, but the case of general graphs is shown to have various algorithmic applications. Indeed, our work is motivated by
the algorithmic problem of maximizing the quadratic form ∑{u,v}∈EA(u,v)ϕ(u)ϕ(v) over all ϕ:V→{-1,1}, which arises in the study of correlation clustering and in the investigation of the spin glass model. We give upper
and lower estimates for the integrality gap of this program. We show that the integrality gap is
, where
is the Lovász Theta Function of the complement of G, which is always smaller than the chromatic number ofG. This yields an efficient constant factor approximation algorithm for the above maximization problem for a wide range of
graphs G. We also show that the maximum possible integrality gap is always at least Ω(log ω(G)), where ω(G) is the clique number of G.
In particular it follows that the maximum possible integrality gap for the complete graph on n vertices with no loops is Θ(logn). More generally, the maximum possible integrality gap for any perfect graph with chromatic number n is Θ(logn). The lower bound for the complete graph improves a result of Kashin and Szarek on Gram matrices of uniformly bounded functions,
and settles a problem of Megretski and of Charikar and Wirth. 相似文献

Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L1) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the Edit Distance on {0,1}d has L1 distortion We also give new lower bounds on the L1 distortion of flat tori, quotients of the discrete hypercube under group actions, and the transportation cost (Earthmover)
metric. 相似文献

Let G be a k-regular graph, , with girth g. We prove that every embedding has distortion . Two proofs are given, one based on Markov type [B] and the other on quadratic programming. In the core of both proofs are
some Poincaré-type inequalities on graph metrics.

22O(log*n)2^{2^{O(\log^{*}n)}}
. On the other hand, we show that there exists a normed space Y which satisfies the J–L lemma, but for every n, there exists an n-dimensional subspace E

. Our embedding is constructed explicitly in terms of the irreducible representations of the group. Since the optimal Euclidean
embedding of a finite group can always be chosen to be equivariant, as shown by Aharoni et al. (Isr. J. Math. 52(3):251–265,
1985) and by Gromov (see de Cornulier et. al. in Geom. Funct. Anal., 2009), such representation-theoretic considerations suggest a general tool for obtaining upper and lower bounds on Euclidean embeddings
of finite groups. 相似文献

Let (X,d
X
) be an n-point metric space. We show that there exists a distribution over non-contractive embeddings into trees f: X → T such that for every x ∈ X, where C is a universal constant. Conversely we show that the above quadratic dependence on log n cannot be improved in general. Such embeddings, which we call maximum gradient embeddings, yield a framework for the design of approximation algorithms for a wide range of clustering problems with monotone costs,
including fault-tolerant versions of k-median and facility location. 相似文献
