Resource allocation problems in stochastic sequential decision making
In this thesis, we study resource allocation problems that arise in the context of stochastic sequential decision making problems. The practical utility of optimal algorithms for these problems is limited due to their high computational and storage requirements. Also, an increasing number of …

Robust optimization for network-based resource allocation problems under uncertainty
We consider large-scale, network-based, resource allocation problems under uncertainty, with specific focus on the class of problems referred to as multi-commodity flow problems with time-windows. These problems are at the core of many network-based resource allocation problems. Inherent data …

Distributed Newton-Seeking for Resource Allocation
… this thesis develops an approach to solve resource allocation problems in a fully distributed fashion where the separable cost function is unknown with dynamics in discrete time. To accomplish this, we utilize a distributed extremum-seeking scheme that estimates the cost function’s gradient …

Online optimization problems
In this thesis, we study online optimization problems in routing and allocation applications. Online problems are problems where information is revealed incrementally, and decisions must be made before all information is available. We design and analyze algorithms for a variety of online problems, …
