Cost-Oblivious Storage Reallocation
Summary: Introduce storage reallocation: allow moving allocated blocks at a subadditive reallocation cost to minimize footprint, improving on the logarithmic overhead of immovable-memory allocation. Give cost-oblivious algorithms (no knowledge of cost function) achieving (1+ε)·OPT footprint and reallocation cost ≤ O((1/ε)·log(1/ε))·allocation-cost, asymptotically optimal for constant ε.
