We study relaxed list update problem RLUP , in which access requests are made to items stored in a list. The cost to access the jth item x is c , where j j c F c for all i. After the access, x can be repeatedly swapped, at no cost, with i i q1 j any item that precedes it in the list. This problem w
We address the tradeo between the competitive ratio and the resources used by randomized on-line algorithms for caching. Two algorithms reported in the literature that achieve the optimal ratio H k require a lot of memory and perform extensive computation at each step. On the other hand, a very simp
The paging problem is deΓΏned as follows: we are given a two-level memory system, in which one level is a fast memory, called cache, capable of holding k items, and the second level is an unbounded but slow memory. At each given time step, a request to an item is issued. Given a request to an item p,
Consider a hierarchical network in which each node periodically issues a request for an object drawn from a fixed set of unit-size objects. Suppose further that the following conditions are satisfied: the frequency with which each node accesses each object is known; each node has a cache of known ca
