Index Policies and A Novel Performance Space Structure for a Class of Generalised Branching Bandit Problems

Our object of study is a new class of controlled stochastic systems called generalised branching bandits which include discounted branching bandits and generalised bandit problems as special cases. These models allow us to study queueing scheduling and project scheduling problems in which the reward...
