Competitiveness via primal-dual

From the editor: So you are reading this paper on online algorithms. At first the paper reads well, and you get through the first few pages in no time -- until the authors pull a rabbit out of a hat: the online algorithm. Fine, you say to yourself, patience, it all will start making sense when I get...
