Fluid policies, reoptimization, and performance guarantees in dynamic resource allocation

DB Brown, J Zhang - Operations Research, 2023 - pubsonline.informs.org
Many sequential decision problems involve deciding how to allocate shared resources
across a set of independent systems at each point in time. A classic example is the restless …

Dynamic resource allocation: Algorithmic design principles and spectrum of achievable performances

O Besbes, Y Kanoria, A Kumar - Operations Research, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
Dynamic resource allocation problems are ubiquitous, arising in inventory management,
order fulfillment, online advertising, and other applications. We initially focus on one of the …

Degeneracy is ok: Logarithmic regret for network revenue management with indiscrete distributions

J Jiang, W Ma, J Zhang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2210.07996, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study the classical Network Revenue Management (NRM) problem with accept/reject
decisions and $ T $ IID arrivals. We consider a distributional form where each arrival must …

Constant approximation for network revenue management with Markovian-correlated customer arrivals

J Jiang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2305.05829, 2023 - arxiv.org
The Network Revenue Management (NRM) problem is a well-known challenge in dynamic

We study the multi-secretary problem with capacity to hire up to B out of T candidates, and
values drawn iid from a distribution F on [0, 1]. We investigate achievable regret …

A sequential model for high-volume recruitment under random yields

L Du, Q Li, P Yu - Operations Research, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
We model a multiphase and high-volume recruitment process as a large-scale dynamic
program. The success of the process is measured by a reward, which is the total assessment …
