We consider the multi-armed bandit problem. We show that when the state space is finite the computation of the dynamic allocation indices can be handled by linear programming methods.

Constraint Programming (CP) has been successful in a number of combinatorial search and discrete optimisation problems. Yet other more traditional approaches, such as Integer Programming (IP), can ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

Linear semi-infinite programming (LSIP) is a branch of optimisation that focuses on problems where a finite number of decision variables is subject to infinitely many linear constraints. This ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

Integer linear programming can help find the answer to a variety of real-world problems. Now researchers have found a much faster way to do it. The traveling salesperson problem is one of the oldest ...
