Online Algorithms, Competitive Analysis & Caching Strategies | Chapter 27 in Introduction to Algorithms Chapter 27 of Introduction to Algorithms explores the fascinating world of online algorithms—those that operate without access to future input. Unlike offline algorithms, which can optimize decisions with full knowledge of the input sequence, online algorithms must make real-time choices. This chapter introduces competitive analysis as a framework for evaluating their effectiveness and walks through key applications like list maintenance, caching, and scheduling. From the Move-to-Front (MTF) heuristic to randomized caching strategies like RANDOMIZED-MARKING, this chapter offers foundational concepts critical to understanding real-world systems such as memory management and web caching. Watch the video above for a complete walkthrough of Chapter 27, and read on for a full breakdown of the core models, algorithms, and theorems that define online decision-making in algorithm...
