Competitively Chasing Convex Bodies

چکیده
Let be a family of sets in some metric space. In the -chasing problem, an online algorithm observes request sequence and responds (online) by giving points these sets. The movement cost is distance between consecutive such points. competitive ratio worst case (over sequences) total smallest one could have achieved knowing advance sequence. said to chaseable if there exists with finite ratio. 1991, Linial Friedman conjectured that convex Euclidean space chaseable. We prove this conjecture.

Chasing Convex Bodies and Functions
We consider three related online problems: Online Convex Optimization, Convex Body Chasing, and Lazy Convex Body Chasing. In Online Convex Optimization the input is an online sequence of convex functions over some Euclidean space. In response to a function, the online algorithm can move to any destination point in the Euclidean space. The cost is the total distance moved plus the sum of the fun...
متن کاملOn Convex Body Chasing
A player moving in the plane is given a sequence of instructions of the following type: at step i a planar convex set Fi is specified, and the player has to move to a point in Fi. The player is charged for the distance traveled. We provide a strategy for the player which is competitive, i.e., for any sequence Fi the cost to the player is within a constant (multiplicative) factor of the "off-lin...
متن کاملShadows of Convex Bodies
It is proved that if C is a convex body in R" then C has an affine image C (of nonzero volume) so that if P is any 1-codimensional orthogonal projection, \PC\>\C\{tt~l)/n. It is also shown that there is a pathological body, K , all of whose orthogonal projections have volume about \fh~ times as large as |Ä"| . 0. Introduction The problems discussed in this paper concern the areas of shadows (or...
متن کاملEssentially-Euclidean convex bodies
In this note we introduce a notion of essentially-Euclidean normed spaces (and convex bodies). Roughly speaking, an n-dimensional space is λ-essentially-Euclidean (with 0 < λ < 1) if it has a [λn]dimensional subspace which has further proportionally dimensional Euclidean subspaces of any proportion. We consider a space X1 = (Rn, ‖ · ‖1) with the property that if a space X2 = (Rn, ‖ · ‖2) is “no...
متن کاملReductibility of Convex Bodies
Introduction Let C be a convex bounded body in the n-dimensional Euclidean space E, and let B be its boundary. We use Busemann's notations: E(a,b) for the segment {(1 — p)a + pb: 0 < p ^ 1} from a to b, and S(z, p) for the sphere {x: \\z — x\\ = p). We now recall the definition of Hammer's associated bodies C(r). Let Cb(r) be the set obtained from C by a similitude transformation with a ratio r...
