Online matching: A brief survey
Matching, capturing allocation of items to unit-demand buyers, or tasks to workers, or pairs of
collaborators, is a central problem in economics. Indeed, the growing prevalence of …

Online stochastic max-weight matching: Prophet inequality for vertex and edge arrival models
We provide prophet inequality algorithms for online weighted matching in general (non-
bipartite) graphs, under two well-studied arrival models, namely edge arrival and vertex …

Optimal single-choice prophet inequalities from samples
A Rubinstein, JZ Wang, SM Weinberg - arXiv preprint arXiv:1911.07945, 2019 - arxiv.org
We study the single-choice Prophet Inequality problem when the gambler is given access to
samples. We show that the optimal competitive ratio of $1/2$ can be achieved with a single …

Online stochastic max-weight bipartite matching: Beyond prophet inequalities
The rich literature on online Bayesian selection problems has long focused on so-called
prophet inequalities, which compare the gain of an online algorithm to that of a" prophet" …
