Résumé : This talk will cover two recent advancements in the theory of online algorithms for dynamic matching markets. The first set of results concern a stochastic model of matching with Poisson arrivals and memoryless departures over edge-weighted graphs. The second set of results focus on the incorporation of serial correlation properties in classical online stochastic matching models. We develop new mathematical programming relaxations and correlated rounding schemes, yielding the first constant-factor performance guarantees in such settings.
