%0 Journal Article %T A Nonmonotone Analysis with the Primal-Dual Approach: online routing of virtual circuits with unknown durations %A Guy Even %A Moti Medina %J Computer Science %D 2013 %I arXiv %X We address the question of whether the primal-dual approach for the design and analysis of online algorithms can be applied to nonmonotone problems. We provide a positive answer by presenting a primal-dual analysis to the online algorithm of Awerbuch et al.[AAPW01] for routing virtual circuits with unknown durations. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.7687v2
