摘要

We study online contention resolution schemes (OCRSes) and prophet inequalities for non-product distributions. Specifically, when the active set is sampled according to a pairwise-independent (PI) distribution, we show a \((1-o_k(1))\) ( 1 - o k ( 1 ) ) -selectable OCRS for uniform matroids of rank k, and \(\Omega (1)\) Ω ( 1 ) -selectable OCRSes for laminar, graphic, cographic, transversal, and regular matroids. These imply prophet inequalities with the same ratios when the set of values is drawn according to a PI distribution. Our results complement recent work of Dughmi et al. [2] showing that no \(\omega (1/k)\) ω ( 1 / k ) -selectable OCRS exists in the PI setting for general matroids of rank k.
