Sequential Stochastic Optimization in Separable Learning Environments
R. Reid Bishop, Chelsea C. White
We consider a class of sequential decision-making problems under uncertainty that can encompass various types of supervised learning concepts. These problems have a completely obse…
Dynamic Pooled Capacity Deployment for Urban Parcel Logistics
Louis Faugère, Walid Klibi, Chelsea White +1
Last-mile logistics is regarded as an essential yet highly expensive component of parcel logistics. In dense urban environments, this is partially caused by inherent inefficiencies…
The Value of Misinformation and Disinformation
Yanling Chang, Matthew F. Keblis, Ran Li +2
Information is a critical dimension in warfare. Inaccurate information such as misinformation or disinformation further complicates military operations. In this paper, we examine t…
Worst-Case Analysis for a Leader-follower Partially Observable Stochastic Game
Yanling Chang, Chelsea C. White
Partially observable stochastic games provide a rich mathematical paradigm for modeling multi-agent dynamic decision making under uncertainty and partial information. However, they…
2-Approximation Algorithms for Perishable Inventory Control When FIFO Is an Optimal Issuing Policy
Can Zhang, Turgay Ayer, Chelsea C. White
We consider a periodic-review, fixed-lifetime perishable inventory control problem where demand is a general stochastic process. The optimal solution for this problem is intractabl…
