Finally, we wrap-up this lecture with our new result which achieves a competitive factor of Õ(log k log n) for the k-server problem on n nodes1. This is joint work with Nikhil Bansal, Niv Buchbinder, and Aleksander Madry. Our basic approach is based on the framework of [CMP08]. The key idea in our work is that instead of using the allocation problem (as suggested by [CMP08]), we use the fractio...

An efficient optimum solution is presented for a real-life employee daysoff scheduling problem with a three-week cycle. Over a given work cycle, each worker is given 14 successive workdays and 7 successive off days. This three-week days-off timetable is referred to as the (14, 21) schedule. Given different labor demands for each day of the week, the primary objective is to minimize the number o...
