  Online algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, an online algorithm is one that can process its input piece-by-piece, without having the entire input available from the start.
In contrast, an offline algorithm is given the whole problem data from the beginning and is required to output an answer which solves the problem at hand.
As an example of the problem consider the problem of finding a shortest path in a finite connected graph when the graph is unknown and the algorithm receives the node neighbours only when it "enters" the node.

The Euclidean algorithm (also called Euclid's algorithm) is an algorithm to determine the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers.
When analyzing the runtime of Euclid's algorithm, it turns out that the inputs requiring the most steps are two successive Fibonacci numbers, and the worst case requires Θ(n) divisions, where n is the number of digits in the input (see Big O notation).
The quotients that appear when the Euclidean algorithm is applied to the inputs a and b are precisely the numbers occurring in the continued fraction representation of a/b.

 Algorithm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Algorithms are essential to the way computers process information, because a computer program is essentially an algorithm that tells the computer what specific steps to perform, in what specific order, to carry out a specific task, such as calculating the employees' paychecks or printing the students' report cards.
Algorithms are now most often implemented as computer programs but can also be implemented otherwise, for example as electric circuits or mechanically.
The general study of algorithms is a central part of computer science, going further than in programming languages that are designed for practical implementation.

Because recipe prediction algorithms and color prediction algorithms are optimized for different purposes, it is desirable for users to have access to an assortment of recipe prediction algorithms and color recommendation algorithms, each of which are optimized for a certain purpose.

 October 1998/An Algorithm for Online Data Compression   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
For the purpose of this article, I define online data compression as the compression of stream-based material where the compressor/decompressor pair must be able to process data at a rate equivalent to the input rate.
Similar to the Deflate algorithm, it is a combination of the LZ77 algorithm and Huffman-like encoding.
The LZH-Light algorithm is much more efficient (with both a higher speed and a higher compression ratio) than Deflate when low memory usage (less than 64 Kb for the compressor and the decompressor combined) is required.

 Conclusions and Further Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The essential result of combining the Bayesian online learning from Chapter 2 with sparsity is the sparse online algorithm presented in Section 3.6.
The online nature of the algorithm with a single processing of each input is prohibitive for data sets with moderate sizes but for which the full GP representation still impractical.
We saw that the sparse online algorithm, due to its greedy nature, had its running time scaling linearly with the data while at the same time the number of parameters was kept constant.

The algorithm is online because it serves to dictate the movements of the robot in real-time given only information about the robot's position and immediate surroundings.
A significant portion of the algorithm described in the paper is based upon concepts originally developed by the author in a previous paper [Blum1991].
In simple scenes this algorithm reduces to a simple pattern of "sweeps." A sweep is a transveral of a fence, which is a simple structure composed of obstacles.

 CS174 Spring 99, Lecture 17 Summary
Because the behavior of an online algorithm depends on a stream of inputs interleaved with the online algorithm’s outputs, in order to analyze the online algorithm, its necessary to have a model of what produces those inputs.
It means that the online algorithm is only a little worse than the optimal offline algorithm.
A big C means that the online algorithm has many times more cache misses than the optimal offline algorithm.

An online algorithm is an optimization algorithm which works under the handicap of an uncertain future.
An online algorithm for a given problem is said to be c-competitive if for all problem instances the cost of the algorithm's solution is at most c times the cost of the optimal solution on that same problem instance.
This algorithm is the first randomized algorithm for $m \geq 3$, and provides the best known competitive ratios for $m=3, \ldots, 7$.

An algorithm is $\mu$-successful if the agreement ratio of the half-space it outputs is as good as that of any half-space once training points that are inside the $\mu$-margins of its separating hyper-plane are disregarded.
The method is based on a combination of a Bayesian online algorithm together with a sequential construction of a relevant subsample of the data which fully specifies the prediction of the model.
However, the billiard algorithm as presented in [Herbrich et al., 2000] is restricted to small sample size because it requires $\mathcal{O}(m^{2})$ of memory and $\mathcal{O}(N\cdot m^2)$ computational steps where $m$ is the number of training patterns and $N$ is the number of random draws from the posterior distribution.

We will discover that it is impossible to optimize the online case, in fact, the best that any online algorithm can do is to find a solution that costs twice as much as the optimal solution.
In particular, we prove that the competitiveness of any deterministic online algorithm for the cache management problem, where the cache size is k, cannot be less than k.
Today we will give a simple randomized algorithm for the 2-cache problem that uses an unlimited number of bookmarks, and then prove that its competitiveness is optimal, that is, H

In NearPoints, steps 3-9 consist of an examination of O(n) points, where n is the number of points in the set S. We iterate this from steps 2-10, a number of times equal to the number of points marked.
Algorithm AddToMST(T,x) utilizes Theorem 1 in its construction in the sense that it only considers the edges from x to its near points.
Then c is not a near point of x, since after v is marked in step 4 of the algorithm, c will be deleted from the list of possible candidates for the near points.

For online gameing the keys are registered i think but on the cd is only an algorithm which the key must pass.
The check for this simple algorithm is used in the software, so anyone can reverse engineer it and make his own key gen. The trick is, the real keys are most of the time a SUBset of the large collection that the simple algorithm generated.
This uses a different algorithm, and this algorithm is closely guarded and never used in the software itself, but is used on the keycheck servers which are controlled by the publishers.

The algorithm uses on-line knowledge of the current cost of a checkpoint when it decides whether or not to place a checkpoint.
The total overhead of the execution time when the proposed algorithm is used is smaller than the overhead when fixed intervals are used.
Although the proposed algorithm uses only on-line knowledge about the cost of checkpointing, its behavior is close to the off-line optimal algorithm that uses a complete knowledge of checkpointing cost.
