A Note on Bandits with a Twist
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variant of the multi-armed bandit problem was recently introduced by Dimitriu, Tetali and Winkler. For this model (and a mild generalization) we propose faster algorithms to compute the Gittins index. The indexability of such models follows from earlier work of Nash on generalized bandits.

Simulation of a New Process Design to Fabricate a Rectangular Twist Waveguide Using Extrusion and a Twist Die
The aim of the present study is to determine the feasibility of making a rectangular twist waveguide used to rotate electromagnetic waves. For this purpose, the process of fabricating an aluminum rectangular twist waveguide was simulated by making use of finite element method and Deform software. The optimum length and angle of the twist die for manufacturing a twist waveguide with inner cross ...
متن کاملThe Development of a Passive False Twister Mechanism in Handling Low Strength Cotton Slivers on High Draft Spinning Machine
A passive false twist unit (spiral) has been developed to assist with the handling lowstrength slivers on a high speed-spinning machine with a high-speed feed. In the first trial, a falsetwist simulator device was constructed to determine whether the passive false twist unit can be usedon high speed feeding with different can distance from the feeding device. In the second trial, theeffects of ...
متن کاملAn Upper Bound Solution for Analysis of Twist Extrusion Process with Elliptical Die Cross-section
Twist extrusion process is a rather new route to produce highly strained materials. In this process, severe plastic deformation is applied by large shear strains. In current article, required energy for twist extrusion by use of admissible velocity field together with the upper bound technique is predicted. The proposed model is capable of considering the effect of various parameters such as di...
متن کاملEffect of Twisted Tape Baffles on Pressure Drop, Fluctuation and Expansion Ratios in gas - Solid Fluidized Bed
In the present work an attempt has been made to study the effect of the twisted tapes as bed internals, on the performance of the gas-solid fluidized beds. Experimental investigation has been carried out in cylindrical column with and without twisted tapes. Twelve numbers of twisted tapes of three different widths with four values of the twist ratios for each width were studied at different...
متن کاملSimplified Approach for Torsional Analysis of Non-homogenous Tubes with Non-circular Cross-sections
In this paper a method is presented for torsional analysis of non-homogeneous tubes with arbitrarily shaped cross-sections. A previously presented method based on Bredt’s theory is extended to achieve formulas for torsional analysis. Shear modulus varies through the thickness according to a power law distribution. To validate the accuracy of the presented formulas for angle of twist and shear s...
