摘要:

我们引入并研究了在欧几里得平面中带有非交叉约束的加权在线匹配问题:具有非负权重的点在线到达,算法可以将到达的点与之前未匹配的点进行匹配。在经典模型中,决定如何匹配(如果有的话)新到达的点是不可撤销的。目标是在非交叉约束下最大化匹配点的总权重。该问题的无权版本由Atallah于1985年在离线设置中提出,近年来在有无建议的情况下成为研究主题。我们观察到确定性在线算法无法保证加权问题的非平凡竞争比率,但给出了具有有界权重的问题的上界和下界。与确定性情况不同,我们证明通过随机化,对于任意权重可以实现常数竞争比率。我们还研究了问题的其他变种,包括可撤销性和共线点,这两种情况都允许非平凡的在线算法,并给出了可实现的竞争比率的上界和下界。最后,我们证明了获得最优性的建议复杂度界限,改进了已知的最佳界限。

英文摘要:

We introduce and study the weighted version of an online matching problem in the Euclidean plane with non-crossing constraints: points with non-negative weights arrive online, and an algorithm can match an arriving point to one of the unmatched previously arrived points. In the classic model, the decision on how to match (if at all) a newly arriving point is irrevocable. The goal is to maximize the total weight of matched points under the constraint that straight-line segments corresponding to the edges of the matching do not intersect. The unweighted version of the problem was introduced in the offline setting by Atallah in 1985, and this problem became a subject of study in the online setting with and without advice in several recent papers. We observe that deterministic online algorithms cannot guarantee a non-trivial competitive ratio for the weighted problem, but we give upper and lower bounds on the problem with bounded weights. In contrast to the deterministic case, we show that using randomization, a constant competitive ratio is possible for arbitrary weights. We also study other variants of the problem, including revocability and collinear points, both of which permit non-trivial online algorithms, and we give upper and lower bounds for the attainable competitive ratios. Finally, we prove an advice complexity bound for obtaining optimality, improving the best known bound.
