arXiv:2607. 16891v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A truckload carrier must accept or reject each load tender within seconds.
arXiv:2607. 07343v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Online truckload bid acceptance is a closed-loop stochastic decision problem in which a carrier or broker must, in real time, accept or reject a tendered load subject to operational feasibility, fleet repositioning costs, and opportunity cost against future demand.
arXiv:2606. 03736v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study resource-constrained dynamic pricing when the seller seeks revenue and valid inference about demand at a price fixed before the selling season.
arXiv:2608. 16216v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: What is the right delay complexity when a learner can track only $C$ pending feedback items and discarded feedback is permanently lost?
The paper introduces a new approach to learning chance-constrained Markov decision processes (CCMDPs) using a Bellman distributional certificate. It provides both model-based and model-free algorithms with theoretical guarantees, including matching upper and lower bounds for tabular discounted CCMDPs with bounded successor support. Numerical experiments on synthetic CCMDPs and an IEEE 14-bus energy storage benchmark demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
arXiv:2607. 27626v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety-critical IoT systems such as industrial closed-loop control, V2X coordination, and remote teleoperation require every sensor's peak Age of Information (peak AoI, also abbreviated PAoI) to stay below a hard per-slot deadline, not merely an average bound.
arXiv:2608. 07747v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how to share a single conserved capacity budget across many locations and two service classes when demand is uneven, time-varying, and can exceed supply.
arXiv:2505.02796v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study budget pacing in repeated first-price auctions when an advertiser's private-value distributions change over time and the stationary...
arXiv:2607. 22935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Minimum-exposure constraints arise in recommendation, content curation, and regulated allocation when each provider, arm, or group must receive guaranteed exposure inside a period rather than only in aggregate.
arXiv:2606. 30650v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Educational support services often face a qualified-capacity problem: staff time is scarce, qualifications decay, new support needs can appear before anyone is prepared for them, and training consumes the same hours needed by current students.
arXiv:2607. 26253v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is bottlenecked by rollout generation, yet many sampled prompts produce saturated groups (all responses correct or all incorrect) whose zero reward variance yields no policy-gradient signal.
arXiv:2607. 11725v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction moves most building work into module factories, whose production floor operates as a flexible job shop.
The paper studies contextual bilateral trade with full feedback, showing that action-independent observations eliminate the usual polynomial adaptation penalty seen in heavy-tailed bandits. It presents fully parameter-free algorithms that achieve oracle minimax regret rates without knowing the moment order or scale, and derives new regret bounds for both parametric and nonparametric settings. The key technical insight is a paired squared‑loss statistic whose noise cancels, enabling model selection and yielding regret rates that interpolate between classical nonparametric and linear extremes.
