It is well known that the static caching algorithm that keeps the most frequently requested documents in the cache is optimal in case when documents are of the same size and requests are independent and identically distributed. However, it is hard to develop explicit and provably optimal caching algorithms when requests are statistically correlated. In this paper, we show that keeping the most frequently requested documents in the cache is still optimal for large cache sizes even if the requests are strongly correlated.

In REF , it has been shown that the static caching algorithm still performs close to the optimal results for large sizes such as media items, when requests are strongly correlated.
