We consider the problem of minimizing the number of wavelength interchangers in the design of wide-sense nonblocking cross-connects for wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical networks. The problem is modeled as a graph theoretic problem that we call dynamic edge coloring. In dynamic edge coloring the nodes of a graph are fixed but edges appear and disappear, and must be colored at the time of appearance without assigning the same color to adjacent edges. For wide-sense nonblocking WDM cross-connects with k...
The list update problem, a well-studied problem in dynamic data structures, can be described abstractly as a metrical task system. In this paper, we prove that a generic metrical task system algorithm, called the work function algorithm, has constant competitive ratio for list update. In the process, we present a new formulation of the well-known “list factoring” technique in terms of a partial order...
