A new method for computing asymptotic results in optimal stopping problems
L. Bayón, P. Fortuny, J. M. Grau +2
In this paper, we present a novel method for computing the asymptotic values of both the optimal threshold, and the probability of success in sequences of optimal stopping problems…
The multi-returning secretary problem
L. Bayon, P. Fortuny, J. M. Grau +2
In this paper we consider the so-called Multi-returning secretary problem, a version of the Secretary problem in which each candidate has identical copies. The case has a…
The Best-or-Worst and the Postdoc problems with random number of candidates
L. Bayon, P. Fortuny, J. M. Grau +2
In this paper we consider two variants of the Secretary problem: The Best-or-Worst and the Postdoc problems. We extend previous work by considering that the number of objects is no…
The Best-or-Worst and the Postdoc problems
L. Bayon, P. Fortuny Ayuso, J. M. Grau +2
We consider two variants of the secretary problem, the\emph{ Best-or-Worst} and the \emph{Postdoc} problems, which are closely related. First, we prove that both variants, in their…
A variant of the Secretary Problem: the Best or the Worst
L. Bayon, J. Grau, A. M. Oller-Marcen +2
We consider a variant of the secretary problem in which the candidates state their expected salary at the interview, which we assume is in accordance with their qualifications. The…
