Utility Functions and Heuristics for Resource-Bounded Planning Applications

نویسنده

  • Ted Linden
چکیده

This paper proposes a structure for utility functions that are useful when modeling and solving important classes of practical planning applications--problems that are not adequately characterized by an additive utility function, but still have some additive structure. The structure is Xu(t)*mod(t,...) where is a function of how and when a single task is completed and rood(t,...) captures the effects of dependencies between tasks. This structure makes it relatively easy to represent many important problems and allows decision theoretic techniques to be used to merge the available evidence when making variable and value order decisions during heuristic search.

A New Fairness Index and Novel Approach for QoS-Aware Resource Allocation in LTE Networks Based on Utility Functions

Resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in LTE networks. Most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. The great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (MOS) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. In this p...

Risk premiums and certainty equivalents of loss-averse newsvendors of bounded utility

Loss-averse behavior makes the newsvendors avoid the losses more than seeking the probable gains as the losses have more psychological impact on the newsvendor than the gains. In economics and decision theory, the classical newsvendor models treat losses and gains equally likely, by disregarding the expected utility when the newsvendor is loss-averse. Moreover, the use of unbounded utility to m...

Applications of subordination theory to starlike functions

Let $p$ be an analytic function defined on the open unit disc $mathbb{D}$ with $p(0)=1.$ The conditions on $alpha$ and $beta$ are derived for $p(z)$ to be subordinate to $1+4z/3+2z^{2}/3=:varphi_{C}(z)$ when $(1-alpha)p(z)+alpha p^{2}(z)+beta zp'(z)/p(z)$ is subordinate to $e^{z}$. Similar problems were investigated for $p(z)$ to lie in a region bounded by lemniscate of Bernoulli $|w^{2}-1|=1$ ...
