Abstract

In this paper, we study the online class cover problem where a (finite or infinite) family $F$ of geometric objects and a set $P_{r}$ of red points in $R^{d}$ are given a prior, and blue points from $R^{d}$ arrives one after another. Upon the arrival of a blue point, the online algorithm must make an irreversible decision to cover it with objects from $F$ that do not cover any points of $P_{r}$ . The objective of the problem is to place a minimum number of objects. When $F$ consists of axis-parallel unit squares in $R^{2}$ , we prove that the competitive ratio of any deterministic online algorithm is $Ω (\log | P_{r} |)$ , and also propose an $O (\log | P_{r} |)$ -competitive deterministic algorithm for the problem.

在本文中，我们研究的是在线类覆盖问题，在该问题中，几何对象的（有限或无限）族 F 和 Rd 中红色点的集合 Pr 都有一个先验值，而 Rd 中的蓝色点会一个接一个地到达。当一个蓝点到达时，在线算法必须做出一个不可逆的决定，用 F 中不覆盖 Pr 中任何点的对象来覆盖它。问题的目标是放置最少数量的物体。当 F 由 R2 中轴线平行的单位正方形组成时，我们证明了任何确定性在线算法的竞争比率都是Ω(log|Pr||)，并为该问题提出了一种 O(log|Pr||)-竞争确定性算法。
