Online Bipartite Matching With Unknown Distributions
STOC'11: Symposium on Theory of Computing San Jose California USA June, 2011(2011)
摘要
We consider the online bipartite matching problem in the unknown distribution input model. We show that the RANKING algorithm of [KVV90] achieves a competitive ratio of at least 0.653. This is the first analysis to show an algorithm which breaks the natural 1 - 1/e 'barrier' in the unknown distribution model (our analysis in fact works in the stricter, random order model) and answers an open question in [GM08]. We also describe a family of graphs on which RANKING does no better than 0.727 in the random order model. Finally, we show that for graphs which have k > 1 disjoint perfect matchings, RANKING achieves a competitive ratio of at least 1- root 1/k - 1/k(2) + 1/n - in particular RANKING achieves a factor of 1 - o(1) for graphs with omega(1) disjoint perfect matchings.
