Dynamic Matching with Abandonment: Optimal Guarantees via Static Priority Policies

Nick Arnosti, Rad Niazadeh, Pranav Nuti +1

We study stochastic dynamic matching with abandonment, a fundamental model in which agents of different types arrive over time, may abandon the market while waiting, and can be mat…

Prophet Inequalities and Online Contention Resolution for Matchoids

Calum MacRury, Pranav Nuti, Jan Vondrák

In the classical prophet inequality, an algorithm observes a sequence of random variables with known distributions in an online fashion, and it must select one of the random variab…

Stationary Online Contention Resolution Schemes: Theory and Applications to Bayesian Online Resource Allocation

Mohammad Reza Aminian, Rad Niazadeh, Pranav Nuti

Motivated by problems in Bayesian reusable resource allocation, we introduce the concept of stationary online contention resolution schemes (S-OCRSs). OCRSs are a central tool used…

Static Pricing for Single Sample Multi-unit Prophet Inequalities

Pranav Nuti, Peter Westbrook

In this paper, we study -unit single sample prophet inequalities. A seller has identical, indivisible items to sell. A sequence of buyers arrive one-by-one, with each buyer'…

Online Matching and Contention Resolution for Edge Arrivals with Vanishing Probabilities

Will Ma, Calum MacRury, Pranav Nuti

We study the performance of sequential contention resolution and matching algorithms on random graphs with vanishing edge probabilities. When the edges of the graph are processed i…

Prophet Inequalities with Cancellation Costs

Farbod Ekbatani, Rad Niazadeh, Pranav Nuti +1

Most of the literature on online algorithms and sequential decision-making in revenue management focuses on settings with irrevocable decisions. Motivated by modern applications su…

Engaging activities for teaching linear algebra

Shintaro Fushida-Hardy, Pranav Nuti, Megan Selbach-Allen

This paper discusses several linear algebra activities designed to help enhance students' skills in collaborating, exploring mathematics, and linking together abstract and visual w…

A Tight Competitive Ratio for Online Submodular Welfare Maximization

Amit Ganz, Pranav Nuti, Roy Schwartz

In this paper we consider the online Submodular Welfare (SW) problem. In this problem we are given bidders each equipped with a general (not necessarily monotone) submodular ut…

Towards an Optimal Contention Resolution Scheme for Matchings

Pranav Nuti, Jan Vondrák

In this paper, we study contention resolution schemes for matchings. Given a fractional matching and a random set where each edge appears independently with probabil…

Secretary Problems: The Power of a Single Sample

Pranav Nuti, Jan Vondrák

In this paper, we investigate two variants of the secretary problem. In these variants, we are presented with a sequence of numbers that come from distributions $\mathcal{D}_…

The Secretary Problem with Distributions

Pranav Nuti

We study a variant of the secretary problem where candidates come from independent, not necessarily identical distributions known to us, and show that we can do at least as well as…
