We examine the theoretical and numerical global convergence properties of a certain "gradient free" stochastic approximation algorithm called the "simultaneous pertu...
Abstract. This paper considers the Steiner tree problem in the model of twostage stochastic optimization with recourse. This model, the focus of much recent research [1–4], tries...
This paper describes a study of agent bidding strategies, assuming combinatorial valuations for complementary and substitutable goods, in three auction environments: sequential au...
Model learning combined with dynamic programming has been shown to be e ective for learning control of continuous state dynamic systems. The simplest method assumes the learned mod...
Abstract. Motivated by an application in project portfolio analysis under uncertainty, we develop an algorithm S-VNS for solving stochastic combinatorial optimization (SCO) problem...
