ISyE – Deterministic Benchmarks to Inform Sequential Decisions Using Lookahead March 13 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM 1163 Mechanical Engineering 1513 Engineering Dr., Madison, WI, United States UW-ISyE looks forward to welcoming Itai Gurvich from Northwestern University. Dynamic programming is a canonical tool for solving complex sequential decision problems in operations. Yet, because it suffers from the curse of dimensionality, one often must rely on approximations. Among these, deterministic—or “fluid”—approximations have long served as tractable benchmarks that reveal key structural properties of optimal or near-optimal policies in... Free
