arXiv:2606. 00835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Network routers that enforce Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees must decide, at every clock cycle, which expiring packet of information to transmit, even when the value of the packet is unknown until it is processed.

The paper presents an online algorithm that achieves the same $0.401$ approximation factor for maximizing nonnegative, non-monotone DR-submodular functions over compact convex down-closed subsets of the $d$-dimensional unit cube as the best known offline construction. In the full-information value-oracle model, the algorithm attains this factor with sublinear regret, using $O(dT^{1/4})$ oracle calls per round and $O(T^{3/4})$ regret, and offers flexible batching trade-offs. Under a positive-anchor condition, a randomized blocking strategy preserves the $0.401$ factor while achieving $O(T^{5/6})$ one-point bandit regret.
