We consider the problem of graph orientation on-line. Orientation of a graph is an assignment of direction to every edge, resulting with a directed graph. The optimal orientation of a graph G is the one which maximizes the number of ordered pairs (u, v) of vertices of G for which there is a directed path from u to v in the resulting directed graph. Graph orientation on-line is a game in which one of the players constructs a graph by adding vertices one by one, so that the graph is connected at all times, and the second one assigns direction to the newly added edges. The goal of the second player is to maximize the number of connected pairs in the orientation, while the first player is trying to minimize it. We present asymptotically optimal strategies for both players and state that the game with n turns has a ⊙ (nlogn/log logn) outcome. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2008.
