We present improved competitive on-line algorithms for the page replication problem and concentrate on important network topologies for which algorithms with a constant competitive ratio can be given. We develop an optimal randomized on-line replication algorithm for trees and uniform networks; its

In the partition problem we seek to partition a list of numbers into two sublists to minimize the difference between the sums of the two sublists. For this and the related subset sum problem, under suitable assumptions on the probability distributions of the input, it is known that the median of the
A well-known result of Tarjan states that for all n and m n there exists a sequence of n&1 Union and m Find operations that needs at least 0(m . :(m, n)) execution steps on a pointer machine that satisfies the separation condition. Later the bound was extended to 0(n+m. :(m, n)) for all m and n. In
## Abstract We consider the 1βmedian problem with uncertain weights for nodes. Specifically, for each node, only an interval estimate of its weight is known. It is required to find a βminmax regretβ location, that is, to minimize the worstβcase loss in the objective function that may occur because
