Proof of the k-server Conjecture via Work Function Algorithm

#online algorithms #k-server conjecture #matrix operations

The k-server conjecture, which posits a deterministic online algorithm can achieve a competitive ratio of k on any metric space, has been proven using the work function algorithm. The proof employs an algebraic matrix representation of the work function, leveraging matrix operations and a potential function for amortized analysis.
