Abstract

We investigate on-line strategies for money-making trading with brokerage, while competitive algorithms without considering the costs of exchanging are investigated in [R.El-Yaniv, A.Fiat, R.Karp, and G.Turpin, Proc. of FOCS, (1992) ].

We first give the optimal off-line algorithm for the (bidirectional) con version problem with brokerage. Next, we design an on-line algorithm, which is a combination of the EFKT-algorithm with our decided off-line algorithm. Furthermore, we analyze the competitive performance of our proposed on-line algorithm, and discuss lower bounds of the competitive ratio for the problem with brokerage.
