Research Type Theoretical We use competitive analysis to evaluate the performance of our mechanisms, and show that both of the mechanisms have a competitive ratio of O(ln(k T)) under some mild assumption... We then prove that no algorithm can achieve a competitive ratio better than ln(2k T) under the same assumption. Therefore, our mechanisms are optimal within a constant factor.

Pseudocode Yes Mechanism 1 Pricing rule: When job j arrives, If j does not overfill the system (i.e. t rj , dj , γj(t) + nj C 1), set price... Otherwise, set price pj = + . Allocation rule: If j accepts the price pj and pays for it, allocate nj instances to j from rj to dj. Mechanism 2 Pricing rule: When job j arrives, If AF j = , set price... Otherwise, set price pj = + . Allocation rule: If j accepts the price pj, allocate j to time interval [a j, a j + lj), where...
