We study the multistage K-facility reallocation problem on the real line, where we maintain K facility locations over T stages, based on the stage-dependent locations of n agents. Each agent is connected to the nearest facility at each stage, and the facilities may move from one stage to another, to accommodate different agent locations. The objective is to minimize the connection cost of the agents plus the total moving cost of the facilities, over all stages. K-facility reallocation problem…

Facility Reallocation on the Line
• Economics
IJCAI
• 2018
This work considers a multi-stage facility reallocation problems on the real line, where a facility is being moved between stages based on the locations reported by n agents, and proposes another strategyproof mechanism which has a competitive ratio of (n+3)/(n+1) for odd n and ( n+4)/n for even n, which it conjecture to be the best possible.
Mobile resource allocation
This thesis covers the topic of resource allocation problems that are tailored to scenarios primarily involving mobile users, and proposes online algorithms that achieve competitive ratios independent of time and the number of clients.

Efficient Online Learning for Dynamic k-Clustering
• Computer Science

• 2021
An online learning problem, called Dynamic kClustering, in which k centers are maintained in a metric space over time (centers may change positions) such as a dynamically changing set of r clients is served in the best possible way and this work contributes to the long line of research on combinatorial online learning.

Online and incremental algorithms for facility location
All known online and incremental Facility Location algorithms are discussed, the intuition behind them and the main ideas of their competitive analysis are sketched, and some applications are discussed.
Minimizing Movement in Mobile Facility Location Problems

• 2008
This paper shows that the problem of minimizing the total movement of facilities and clients generalizes the classical k-median problem using an approximation preserving reduction, and presents an 8-approximation algorithm for the minimum maximum movement mobile facility location problem.

A new version of the online facility location problem, where the algorithm is allowed to move the opened facilities in the metric space, is considered and it is proved that no algorithm with smaller competitive ratio than $${(\sqrt{13}+1)/4\approx 1.1514}$$ exists.

This work introduces a time-dependent, dynamic version of the facility location problem, which includes a switching cost when a client’s assignment changes from one facility to another, to provide a better representation of an evolving network.
