Asymptotics of the optimum in discrete sequential assignment

Probability 2022-03-01 v2 Optimization and Control

Abstract

We consider the stochastic sequential assignment problem of Derman, Lieberman and Ross (1972) corresponding to a discrete distribution supported on a finite set of points. We use large deviation estimates to compute the asymptotics of the optimal policy as the number of tasks NN \to \infty.
