摘要: In practice, almost all dynamic systems require decisions to be made online, without full knowledge of their future impact on the system. We introduce a general model for processing sequences tasks and develop online decision algorithm. show that, an important class special cases, this algorithm is optimal among algorithms.Specifically, task system (S, d) consists set S states cost matrix d where d(i, j) changing from state i j (we assume that satisfies triangle inequality diagonal entries are O.) The given depends A schedule sequence T1, T2 … Tk s1, s2 sk si in which Ti processed; sum costs transition incurred.An scheduling one chooses only knowing T1T2 Ti. Such operates within waste factor w if, any input sequence, its additive constant times offline cost. w(S, infirm d). = 2|S| - 1 every symmetric, O(|S|2)
