Simple and Almost Non-Adaptive \(\frac{1}{2}\)-Approximation for Matroid Prophet Inequalities
Prophet inequalities are a fundamental model for online decision-making under uncertainty. For matroid constraints, Kleinberg and Weinberg gave a tight $\frac{1}{2}$-approximation using adaptive thresholds, while Feldman, Svensson, and Zenklusen obtained a $\frac{1}{4}$-approximation via an online contention resolution...
