We modify one of the foundational online problems, Disjoint Path Allocation, to include weighted requests. We provide a comprehensive competitive analysis, incorporating the viewpoints of both advice complexity and parametrized complexity. Our bounds feature a consistent parametrization and closely trace the trade-off between advice complexity and competitiveness. Jointly dedicated to an Unceasingly Requested Algorithmist on his threescore Jubilee.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
