in this paper, a hybrid method for limited resource allocation and leveling in complex multi-stage, multi-product and multi-period production planning problems with aim of lot-size determination and total cost minimization has been proposed. this problem consists of multiple products with sequential production processes that are produced in different periods to meet the customers demand. by det...

We investigate a stochastic multi-armed bandit problem in which the forecaster’s choice is restricted. In this problem, rounds are divided into lock-up periods and the forecaster must select the same arm throughout a period. While there has been much work on finding optimal algorithms for the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem, their use under restricted conditions is not obvious. We extend ...
