An On-line ‘surrogate Problem’ Methodology for Stochastic Discrete Resource Allocation Problems∗
We consider stochastic discrete optimization problems where the decision variables are non-negative integers. We propose and analyze an on-line control scheme which transforms the problem into a “surrogate” continuous optimization problem and proceeds to solve the latter using standard gradient-based approaches while simultaneously updating both actual and surrogate system states. It is shown t...

We consider stochastic discrete optimization problems where the decision variables are non-negative integers. We propose and analyze an on-line control scheme which transforms the problem into a “surrogate” continuous optimization problem and proceeds to solve the latter using standard gradient-based approaches while simultaneously updating both actual and surrogate system states. Convergence o...
متن کاملA 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...
