The multi-returning secretary problem

چکیده
In this paper we consider the so-called Multi-returning secretary problem, a version of Secretary problem in which each candidate has m identical copies. The case m=2 already been completely solved by several authors using different methods, but m>2 had not satisfactorily yet. Here, under conjecture certain (very likely true) uniform convergence results, provide an efficient algorithm to compute optimal threshold and probability success for every m. Moreover, give method determine their asymptotic values based on solution system ODEs.

The Returning Secretary
In the online random-arrival model, an algorithm receives a sequence of n requests that arrive in a random order. The algorithm is expected to make an irrevocable decision with regard to each request based only on the observed history. We consider the following natural extension of this model: each request arrives k times, and the arrival order is a random permutation of the kn arrivals; the al...
متن کاملThe Submodular Secretary Problem
Online auction is an essence of many modern markets, particularly networked markets, in which information about goods, agents, and outcomes is revealed over a period of time, and the agents must make irrevocable decisions without knowing future information. Optimal stopping theory, especially the classic secretary problem, is a powerful tool for analyzing such online scenarios which generally r...
متن کاملThe Secretary Problem
This note reanalyzes a non·zero-sum game version of the secretary problem recently treated by Kurano, Nakagami and Yasuda [3], under a modified formulation of the problem. The equilibrium derived differs from the former one and has an interesting assymptotic behavior which reconfirms a main theorem formerly proved by Presman and Sonin [4]. Th" equilibrium value in the limit is a positive number...
متن کاملThe Temp Secretary Problem
We consider a generalization of the secretary problem where contracts are temporary, and for a fixed duration γ. This models online hiring of temporary employees, or online auctions for re-usable resources. The problem is related to the question of finding a large independent set in a random unit interval graph.
متن کاملUniformly bounded regret in the multi-secretary problem
In the secretary problem of Cayley (1875) and Moser (1956), n non-negative, independent, random variables with common distribution are sequentially presented to a decision maker who decides when to stop and collect the most recent realization. The goal is to maximize the expected value of the collected element. In the k-choice variant, the decision maker is allowed to make kď n selections to ma...
