A stochastic algorithm for online bipartite resource allocation problems
This paper deals with online resource allocation problems whereby buyers with a limited total budget want to purchase items that become available one at a time and which consume some amount of various limited resources upon allocation. Sponsored search advertising is a typical example: in order to maximize revenue, search engines try to choose the best available advertisement to display for eac...
متن کاملOnline Resource Allocation Problems∗
In this paper, we consider an online resource allocation problem, where buyers with limited budgets are interested in purchasing items that consume a limited amount of resources. In general, there is no nontrivial performance guarantee for the worst cases. However, after imposing two reasonable restrictions, we can propose two online algorithms, a greedy algorithm and a primal dual algorithm, w...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Genetic Algorithm for Advertising Time Allocation Problems
Commercial advertising is the main source of income for TV channels and allocation of advertising time slots for maximizing broadcasting revenues is the major problem faced by TV channel planners. In this paper, the problem of scheduling advertisements on prime-time of a TV channel is considered. The problem is formulated as a multi-unit combinatorial auction based mathematical model. This is a...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Stochastic Discrete Resource Allocation Optimization
Stochastic discrete resource allocation problems are difficult to solve. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm designed specifically to tackle them. The algorithm combines with the Nested Partitions method, the Ordinal Optimization techniques, and an efficient simulation control technique. The resulting hybrid algorithm retains the global perspective of the Nested Partitions method and the ...
متن کاملA Decomposition Algorithm for Nested Resource Allocation Problems
We propose an exact polynomial algorithm for a resource allocation problem with convex costs and constraints on partial sums of resource consumptions, in the presence of either continuous or integer variables. No assumption of strict convexity or differentiability is needed. The method solves a hierarchy of resource allocation subproblems, whose solutions are used to convert constraints on sums...
