Title:A Short Proof of Optimality for the MIN Cache Replacement Algorithm
Summary:The MIN algorithm is an offline strategy for deciding which item to replace when writing a new item to a cache. Its optimality has been established by Mattson, Gecsei, Slutz, and Traiger [2] through a lengthy analysis. We offer here a short and elementary proof based on a dynamic programming argument.
