Synopsis
Excerpt from Conservation Laws, Extended Polymatroids and Multi-Armed Bandit Problems: An Unified Approach to Indexable Systems
An interesting distinction, which is not emphasized in the literature, is that examples (1) and (2) above are indexable systems, but they are not in general decomposable systems. Example however, has a more refined structure. It is indexable, but not decomposable. Under discounting, while it is decomposable under the average cost criterion (the cu rule). As already observed, the multi-armed bandit problem is an example of a decomposable system, while example (4) above is also decomposable.

Conservation Laws, Extended Polymatroids and Multi-Armed Bandit Problems
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intricate world of stochastic and dynamic scheduling problems, a field that has traditionally relied on complex dynamic programming formulations. The author presents a revolutionary approach that leverages the power of mathematical programming, introducing a novel concept called "generalized conservation laws." By demonstrating the connection between these laws and a type of polyhedron called an "extended polymatroid," the author shows how to analyze and solve various scheduling problems with greater efficiency. This framework unifies several classical problems like multi-armed bandit problems, branching bandits, multiclass queues, and deterministic scheduling problems under a single lens. The author reveals the profound structural properties of these systems, providing a deeper understanding of their indexability and decomposability characteristics. This book offers a fresh perspective on a complex field, making significant contributions to the understanding and optimization of stochastic and dynamic scheduling problems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332245307_0
