  2. Prophet Inequality for Matching • G =(V,E): general weighted graph • Weight of Edge e, 𝑥 𝑓 , is drawn independently from a known distribution 𝐺 𝑓 • Elements arrive online, weights are revealed upon arrival • Online selection (immediate and irrevocable): a matching 𝑁 ⊂ 𝐹 • Goal : Pick maximum weighted matching 𝑁

  3. Two Variants of Matching Prophet Inequality Vertex arrival : Edge arrival : • Vertices arrive one by one • Edges arrive one by one (arbitrary (arbitrary order) order) • Upon arrival, weights of edges to all • Upon arrival, edge ’ s weight is revealed previous vertices are revealed 1 𝑥 𝑓2 = 0.6 𝑉[0,3] 2 3

  4. Our Results Edge arrival : Vertex arrival : • 0.337 approximation • ½ approximation - tight 1 • Unknown arrival order • Improves upon 3 -approximation of • General graphs [Gravin, Wang EC19] • G eneral graphs • In paper: a general framework for batched prophet inequality • elements arrive in batches (e.g., vertex arrival)
