Algorithms to schedule medical appointments This paper was inspired by a field collaboration effort to develop and disseminate a real-time appointment scheduling decision support tool for an outpatient cancer infusion center in a large healthcare system. Two challenging aspects of scheduling daily medical appointments are that each patient is scheduled upon arrival without knowledge on future patients and that the appointments typically consume scarce physical resources (e.g., chairs, nurses, and doctors). A desirable schedule should have relatively smooth utilization over the course of a day to minimize the peak demand for the scarce resources. This paper develops new real-time (online) algorithms to schedule appointments in medical and other settings. It establishes theoretical properties of these algorithms, showing that they perform close to algorithms that could exploit full retrospective information on all the appointments. Additionally, it provides important insights to guide efficient real-time appointment scheduling policies in practice.
本文的灵感来自于一个大型医疗保健系统中门诊癌症输液中心的实时预约调度决策支持工具的开发和传播。安排日常医疗预约的两个具有挑战性的方面是,每个病人在到达时都是在不了解未来病人的情况下安排的,预约通常会消耗稀缺的物理资源(例如,椅子、护士和医生)。理想的调度应该在一天的过程中具有相对平稳的利用率,以最小化对稀缺资源的峰值需求。本文开发了新的实时(在线)算法来安排医疗和其他设置的预约。它建立了这些算法的理论属性,表明它们的执行接近于可以利用所有约会的完整回顾性信息的算法。此外,它还为指导实践中高效的实时约会调度策略提供了重要的见解。

A gaussian process-based random search framework for continuous optimization via simulation Stochastic optimization via simulation (OvS) is widely used for optimizing the performances of complex systems with continuous decision variables. Because of the existence of simulation noise and infinite feasible solutions, it is challenging to design an efficient mechanism to do the searching and estimation simultaneously to find the optimal solutions. In “Gaussian process-based random search for continuous optimization via simulation,” Wang et al. propose a Gaussian process-based random search (GPRS) framework for the design of single-observation and adaptive continuous OvS algorithms. This framework builds a Gaussian process surrogate model to estimate the objective function value of every solution based on a single observation of each sampled solution in each iteration and allow for a wide range of sampling distributions. They prove the global convergence and analyze the rate of convergence for algorithms under the GPRS framework. They also give a specific example of GPRS algorithms and validate its theoretical properties and practical efficiency using numerical experiments.
随机模拟优化(OvS)被广泛应用于具有连续决策变量的复杂系统的性能优化。由于仿真噪声的存在和无限可行解的存在,设计一种有效的机制来同时进行搜索和估计以找到最优解是一个挑战。在“基于高斯过程的随机搜索通过仿真进行连续优化”中,Wang等人提出了一种基于高斯过程的随机搜索(GPRS)框架,用于设计单观测和自适应连续OvS算法。该框架建立了一个高斯过程代理模型,基于每次迭代中每个采样解的单个观察来估计每个解的目标函数值,并允许大范围的采样分布。证明了GPRS框架下算法的全局收敛性,并分析了算法的收敛速度。给出了GPRS算法的具体实例,并通过数值实验验证了其理论性能和实际效率。

Optimal Nonstationary Optimization Without Knowing Function Changes Nonstationary stochastic optimization plays a vital role in a number of computer science and operations research applications. It is known how to design and analyze algorithms that optimize a sequence of strongly convex/concave and smooth functions with access to only one-point noisy function values with the underlying function sequence subject to maximum magnitude of function changes. In recent work from Wang titled “Technical Note: On Adaptivity in Nonstationary Stochastic Optimization with Bandit Feedback,” an optimization algorithm is designed and analyzed without assuming the magnitude of function changes is known in advance. Optimality of the designed algorithm is demonstrated.
不知道函数变化的最优非平稳优化在许多计算机科学和运筹学应用中起着至关重要的作用。已知如何设计和分析算法来优化强凸/凹和光滑函数序列,这些函数只能访问一点噪声函数值,并且底层函数序列受函数变化的最大幅度影响。在Wang最近的一篇名为“技术说明:基于Bandit反馈的非平稳随机优化中的自适应性”的工作中,他设计并分析了一种优化算法,而不假设函数变化的幅度事先已知。验证了所设计算法的最优性。

Call Center Staffing: On-Demand Is in Demand Traditional call centers face challenges in quickly adapting their service capacity to meet fluctuations in demand, even with short staffing periods. In their research article “Expanding Service Capabilities Through an On-Demand Workforce,” Sun and Liu propose a solution for call centers to improve service levels and reduce operating expenses. They develop a two-stage decision model that determines the optimal combination of permanent and on-demand staff, along with an optimal on-demand staffing and call scheduling policy that minimizes costs. By utilizing diffusion approximation, they derive approximate solutions for the second-stage problem. The optimal staffing rule employs switching boundaries to determine when to bring in or dismiss on-demand agents, while the scheduling rule employs a nested threshold rule that prioritizes customer urgency. Interestingly, the call scheduling rule exhibits an intriguing pattern arising from the interaction between on-demand staffing and call scheduling decisions. Their research findings highlight significant cost savings achievable through the implementation of an on-demand workforce.
呼叫中心人员配置:随需应变传统呼叫中心面临着快速调整服务能力以满足需求波动的挑战,即使人员配置周期很短。在他们的研究文章“通过按需劳动力扩展服务能力”中,孙和刘为呼叫中心提出了一个解决方案,以提高服务水平并降低运营费用。他们开发了一个两阶段决策模型,该模型确定了固定员工和按需员工的最佳组合,以及按需员工和呼叫调度策略的最佳组合,从而使成本最小化。利用扩散近似,导出了第二阶段问题的近似解。最优人员配置规则使用切换边界来确定何时引入或解雇按需代理,而调度规则使用嵌套的阈值规则来优先考虑客户的紧迫性。有趣的是,呼叫调度规则显示了一种有趣的模式,这种模式是由按需人员配置和呼叫调度决策之间的交互产生的。他们的研究结果强调了通过实施按需劳动力可以实现的显著成本节约。

A Stationary Infinite-Horizon Supply Contract Under Asymmetric Inventory Information 非对称库存信息下的平稳无限地平线供给契约

A New Approach to Contract Design with Private Inventory Information In a typical decentralized supply chain, a downstream retailer privately observes its inventory level and has an informational advantage over the upstream supplier. In “A Stationary Infinite-Horizon Supply Contract Under Asymmetric Inventory Information” by Bensoussan, Sethi, and Wang, the authors study how to optimally design a stationary, truth-telling, long-term contract in such a setting. In contrast to the classic first order approach in literature, they formulate the contract design as an optimization over a functional space and develop a solution approach based on the calculus of variations. They further apply their necessary optimality condition to the class of batch-order contracts, which replenish a prespecified inventory quantity for a fixed payment in each period only when the retailer has zero inventory on hand.
在典型的分散供应链中,下游零售商私下观察其库存水平,并对上游供应商具有信息优势。在Bensoussan、Sethi和Wang的《库存信息不对称下的固定无限视界供给契约》一书中,作者研究了在这种情况下如何优化设计一个固定的、诚实的长期契约。与文献中经典的一阶方法相比,他们将契约设计表述为功能空间上的优化,并开发了基于变分法的求解方法。他们进一步将其必要最优性条件应用于批订单合同,该合同仅在零售商手头库存为零的情况下,在每个时期为固定付款补充预先指定的库存数量。

Projective Hedging Algorithms for Multistage Stochastic Programming, Supporting Distributed and Asynchronous Implementation 多阶段随机规划的投影对冲算法,支持分布式和异步实现

In “Projective Hedging Algorithms for Multistage Stochastic Programming, Supporting Distributed and Asynchronous Implementation,” Eckstein, Watson, and Woodruff derive a new class of decomposition methods for convex multistage stochastic programs defined on finite but potentially large scenario trees. These methods resemble Rockafellar and Wets’ now-classical progressive hedging (PH) method but are based on a flexible projective operator-splitting scheme instead of the standard alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The new algorithms only need to reoptimize subproblems for a subset of the scenarios at each iteration, instead of all of them, and are also amenable to a form of asynchronous implementation, without the algorithm randomization or small step-size requirements usually imposed in such contexts. In the online appendix, the authors demonstrate significant computational gains over PH, applying hundreds or thousands of processor cores to problem instances with up to a million scenarios.
在“支持分布式和异步实现的多阶段随机规划的投影对冲算法”中,Eckstein, Watson和Woodruff为有限但可能很大的场景树上定义的凸多阶段随机规划导出了一类新的分解方法。这些方法类似于Rockafellar和Wets现在经典的渐进式对冲(PH)方法,但基于灵活的投影算子分裂方案,而不是标准的乘数交替方向方法(ADMM)。新算法只需要在每次迭代时为场景的一个子集重新优化子问题,而不是所有的子问题,并且还适用于异步实现的形式,而不需要算法随机化或通常在此类上下文中强加的小步长要求。在在线附录中,作者展示了PH的显著计算增益,将数百或数千个处理器内核应用于多达一百万个场景的问题实例。

California Utility Firm Implements Innovative Model, Reducing Costs by 4% A California utility firm has successfully implemented a pioneering model to balance electricity demand and supply while minimizing costs. By utilizing direct load control contracts (DLCCs), the firm can reduce energy consumption during peak hours. Researchers developed an integer stochastic dynamic optimization problem that considers monthly and annual constraints, allowing for effective execution of DLCCs. Incorporating a “reduce-to-threshold” policy to flatten energy-consumption curves during high demand, the model was verified using real data from the California Independent System Operator. When implemented, the utility firm achieved an impressive cost reduction of approximately 4%. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to enhance customer experience and improve DLCC contract features. The success of this innovative model highlights the potential of DLCCs and advanced optimization techniques in the energy sector, offering a blueprint for other utility companies seeking to optimize grid stability and reduce costs.

Solving realistic security-constrained optimal power flow problems In “A surrogate-based asynchronous decomposition technique for realistic security-constrained optimal power flow problems,” we propose a new algorithm for solving a classical problem in power grid operations: the security-constrained optimal power flow, considering its nonlinearities and realistic transitions between nominal and emergency post-contingency operations. Solving security-constrained optimal power flow problems accurately is a critical function, upon which depends the reliability, security, and efficiency of power systems as well as the correct functioning of other critical infrastructure dependent on electricity. The proposed algorithm was extensively tested against many state-of-the-art approaches using realistic and real instances in the ARPA-E Grid Optimization Competition Challenge 1, where it found the best-known solution for 58% of the instances, attained an average gap of less than 0.2%, and obtained the best overall scores, thereby winning all divisions of Challenge 1 with a very strong first place.

Technical Note—A New Rate-Optimal Sampling Allocation for Linear Belief Models 线性信念模型的一种新的率最优抽样分配方法

A major focus of the simulation literature is the study of optimal budget allocation. The goal is to divide a simulation budget between alternatives with unknown values in a manner that leads to efficient identification of the best alternative. Existing analytical techniques, based on large deviations theory, are limited to finite sets of alternatives, each of which is assigned a certain proportion of the budget. In “A New Rate-Optimal Sampling Allocation for Linear Belief Models,” Zhou and Ryzhov develop the first provably optimal budget allocation for a continuous problem where linear regression is used to model the value of a choice. The allocation is expressible in closed form and is simpler and easier to implement than analogous solutions for the discrete setting. This work bridges the emerging literature on contextual (regression-based) learning and the well-known statistical problem of optimal experimental design.
仿真文献的一个主要焦点是研究最优预算分配。目标是在具有未知值的备选方案之间划分模拟预算,从而有效地识别最佳备选方案。现有的分析技术以大偏差理论为基础,仅限于有限的备选方案,每一套方案都分配一定比例的预算。在“线性信念模型的一种新的率最优抽样分配”中,Zhou和Ryzhov为一个连续问题开发了第一个可证明的最优预算分配,其中线性回归用于建模选择的价值。该分配以封闭形式表示,比离散设置的类似解决方案更简单,更容易实现。这项工作连接了上下文(基于回归)学习的新兴文献和众所周知的最佳实验设计统计问题。

This work bridges the emerging literature on contextual (regression-based) learning and the well-known statistical problem of optimal experimental design.","PeriodicalId":49809,"journal":{"name":"Military Operations Research","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74186718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses decision making in multiple stages, where prior information is available and where consecutive and successive decisions are made. Risk measures assess the random outcome by taking various candidate probability measures into account. To justify decisions in multiple stages, it is essential to have conditional risk measures available, which respect the information, which was already revealed in the past. The paper addresses different variants of risk measures, discusses their properties in the specific context and their implications in multistage decision making. Various examples of risk measures on simple probability spaces with finite support illustrate the content. The Wasserstein and nested distance are involved to make decision making with numerous scenarios numerically tractalbe.
本文讨论了多阶段的决策制定,其中先验信息是可用的,其中连续和连续的决策是做出的。风险度量通过考虑各种候选概率度量来评估随机结果。为了证明在多个阶段的决策是合理的,有条件的风险措施是必要的,这些措施尊重过去已经披露的信息。本文讨论了风险度量的不同变体,讨论了它们在特定情况下的性质及其在多阶段决策中的含义。在有限支持的简单概率空间上的各种风险度量的例子说明了内容。Wasserstein和嵌套距离涉及到许多场景的决策,这些场景在数值上是可追踪的。
