In our on-line model, the final instance (a graph with n vertices) is revealed in t clusters, 2 ¡Ü t ¡Ü n . We first focus on an on-line version of the maximumweighted hereditary subgraph problem. Then, we deal with the particular case of the independent set problem. We are interested in two types of results: the competitive ratio guaranteed by the on-line algorithm and hardness results that account for the difficulty of the problems and for the quality of algorithms developed to solve them. %K On-line algorithms %K hereditary property %K independent set %K competitive ratio %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0354-0243/2011/0354-02431101011D.pdf
