Randomized online computation with high probability guarantees

Dennis Komm, Rastislav Královič, Richard Královič, Tobias Mömke

摘要:

研究了随机在线极小化问题的竞争比与尾分布之间的关系。为此,我们定义了广泛的一类在线问题,其中包括一些研究的问题,如分页,k-服务器和测量任务系统的有限度量,并表明,对于这些问题,它是可能的,给定一个算法与恒定的预期竞争比,另一种算法,达到相同的解决方案的质量,以任意小的恒定误差高概率;“高概率”的说法是以最佳成本为依据的。此外,我们表明,我们的假设是紧的,在这个意义上,删除它们中的任何一个允许一个反例定理。此外,还有其他问题的例子没有包括在我们的定义中,在那里可以得到类似的高概率结果。

英文摘要:

We study the relationship between the competitive ratio and the tail distribution of randomized online minimization problems. To this end, we define a broad class of online problems that includes some of the well-studied problems like paging, k-server and metrical task systems on finite metrics, and show that for these problems it is possible to obtain, given an algorithm with constant expected competitive ratio, another algorithm that achieves the same solution quality up to an arbitrarily small constant error a with high probability; the "high probability" statement is in terms of the optimal cost. Furthermore, we show that our assumptions are tight in the sense that removing any of them allows for a counterexample to the theorem. In addition, there are examples of other problems not covered by our definition, where similar high probability results can be obtained.
