4 Counterexamples to on-line algorithms

 

This section presents examples where several natural on-line scheduling strategies do poorly. Based on these examples, we suspect that finding an on-line algorithm that can schedule any set of paths in tex2html_wrap_inline2100 steps using constant-size queues will be a challenging task.
