New research explores optimal online matching in growing trees

A new research paper introduces a novel approach to online matching in growing trees, addressing scenarios where the tree's growth law is unknown or misspecified. The proposed method utilizes a Bellman continuation score to develop an optimal threshold policy that minimizes losses relative to an ideal online oracle. This policy's performance is analyzed under deterministic affine attachment forecasts and uniform-preferential attachment, with theoretical bounds established for expected regret in cases of unknown parameters.

    Robust and Learned Online Matching in Growing Trees

    arXiv:2609.40077v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study irrevocable maximum-cardinality matching in trees revealed by successive leaf attachments, with a known horizon and an exogenous growth law that is misspecified or unknown. For deterministic affine attachment forecasts wi…
