Metrical Service Systems with Transformations
Sébastien Bubeck, Niv Buchbinder, Christian Coester, Mark Sellke · 2020-09-17 · via cs.DS updates on arXiv.org

We consider a generalization of the fundamental online metrical service systems (MSS) problem where the feasible region can be transformed between requests. In this problem, which we call T-MSS, an algorithm maintains a point in a metric space and has to serve a sequence of requests. Each request is a map (transformation) $f_t\colon A_t\to B_t$ between subsets $A_t$ and $B_t$ of the metric space. To serve it, the algorithm has to go to a point $a_t\in A_t$, paying the distance from its previous position. Then, the transformation is applied, modifying the algorithm's state to $f_t(a_t)$. Such transformations can model, e.g., changes to the environment that are outside of an algorithm's control, and we therefore do not charge any additional cost to the algorithm when the transformation is applied. The transformations also allow to model requests occurring in the $k$-taxi problem. We show that for $α$-Lipschitz transformations, the competitive ratio is $Θ(α)^{n-2}$ on $n$-point metrics. Here, the upper bound is achieved by a deterministic algorithm and the lower bound holds even for randomized algorithms. For the $k$-taxi problem, we prove a competitive ratio of $\tilde O((n\log k)^2)$. For chasing convex bodies, we show that even with contracting transformations no competitive algorithm exists. The problem T-MSS has a striking connection to the following deep mathematical question: Given a finite metric space $M$, what is the required cardinality of an extension $\hat M\supseteq M$ where each partial isometry on $M$ extends to an automorphism? We give partial answers for special cases.
