The paper concerns a class of discounted restless bandit problems which possess an indexability property. Conservation laws yield an expression for the reward suboptimality of a general policy. These results are utilised to study the closeness to optimality of an index policy for a special class of simple and natural dual speed restless bandits for which indexability is guaranteed. The strong p...

Specifically, people who live ...

Although El Niño and La Niña are the largest single sources of global interannual climate variability, climate shifts on longer time scales than El Niño's 2 to 7 years are also drawing the attention of researchers. On multidecadal time scales of 40 to 80 years, a restless North Atlantic seems to be at work, alternately countering and enhancing humankind's alterations of climate. The evidence fo...

Here he wrote 'wherefore to some, when being a bed they betake themselves to sleep, presently in the arms and leggs, leapings and contractions of their tendons, and so great a restlessness and tossings of their members ensue, that the diseased are n...
