Sequential Stochastic Optimization provides mathematicians andapplied researchers with a well-developed framework in whichstochastic optimization problems can be formulated and solved.Offering much material that is either new or has never beforeappeared in book form, it lucidly presents a unified theory ofoptimal stopping and optimal sequential control of stochasticprocesses. This book has been carefully organized so that littleprior knowledge of the subject is assumed; its only prerequisitesare a standard graduate course in probability theory and somefamiliarity with discrete-parameter martingales.
Major topics covered in Sequential Stochastic Optimization include:
* Fundamental notions, such as essential supremum, stopping points,accessibility, martingales and supermartingales indexed by INd
* Conditions which ensure the integrability of certain suprema ofpartial sums of arrays of independent random variables
* The general theory of optimal stopping for processes indexed byInd
* Structural properties of information flows
* Sequential sampling and the theory of optimal sequential control
* Multi-armed bandits, Markov chains and optimal switching betweenrandom walks

Presents a unified mathematical theory of optimal stopping and sequential control of stochastic processes along with several applications including sequential statistical tests involving several populations and multi-armed bandit problems. The material is accompanied by extensive problems, exercises and realistic examples which facilitate understanding. Contains a large amount of original information unavailable elsewhere.
R. Cairoli and Robert C. Dalang are the authors of Sequential Stochastic Optimization, published by Wiley.
