We use a greedy algo- rithm to solve this problem. We first sort the subsets in P by their sizes in descending order, then we assign each subset to the ma- chine with the largest remaining capacity. It is known [21] that this greedy algorithm produces an approximation of 4/3 − 1...
We prove a tight lower bound which shows that our algorithm is optimal up to constants. Our algorithm uses a primal dual convex programming scheme. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that such a scheme is used in the online framework. We also discuss an application of ...
The greedy algorithm is based on looking at the i for which the next applicable p'_j in D_i is the largest. With our formalism, this defines as follows.Definition 13 (Greedy Strategy). Let s be a strategy for D. We say that s is greedy if ...

Surely, it is beneficial to have a code reference for many algorithms and data structures, but I also think that just superficially knowing the algorithm and maybe having implemented it once or twice before is sufficient to use it without a reference?
We uncover a unifying structure\nwhich we use to prove extremely general guarantees, yet we recover the bounds\nfrom prior research. Our guarantees apply whenever an algorithm's performance\nis a piecewise-constant, -linear, or -- more generally -- piecewise-structured\nfunction of its ...
minutes of Googling to find the credentials of a real doctor. But even if the guy on the website is a qualified MD, that doesn’t necessarily mean they have produced a good product. Doctors can be bought (especially in the US), they can make bad decisions, and they can be greedy. ...
Then, the robot performs an optimization over action sequences in an effort to minimize the distance between the predicted future and the desired goal. This algorithm has been used to complete object rearrangement tasks such as grasping an apple and putting it on a plate, re-orienting a ...
So you have to shift to paid. Google rolls out an algorithm update and bam, your organic traffic drops 40%. Seriously, what marketer ignores one whole channel? In marketing, diversity = strength. OK, So, What Do I Call PPC…? A lot of people ask me what I call things like paid...
In theory, smart-contract can be written for any algorithm that looks pretty much like a brave new world without obscure agreements and paper documents. But with some limitations. Who and How Executes Smart Contracts? It is difficult to understand all Ethereum at once. In contrast to Bitcoin,...
