Neurophysiological insights into sequential decision-making: exploring the secretary problem through ERPs and TBR dynamics
Decision-making under uncertainty, a cornerstone of human cognition, is encapsulated by the “secretary problem” in optimal stop** theory. Our study...

Secretary bird optimization algorithm: a new metaheuristic for solving global optimization problems
This study introduces a novel population-based metaheuristic algorithm called secretary bird optimization algorithm (SBOA), inspired by the survival...
-
Secretary Problem: Graphs, Matroids and Greedoids
In the paper, the generalisation of the well-known “secretary problem” is considered. The aim of the paper is to give a generalised model in such a...

The Secretary Problem with Distributions
In the secretary problem, we are presented with n numbers, adversarially chosen and then randomly ordered, in a sequential fashion. After each...

Formal Barriers to Simple Algorithms for the Matroid Secretary Problem
Babaioff et al. [4] introduced the matroid secretary problem in 2007, a natural extension of the classic single-choice secretary problem to matroids,...
-
Knapsack Secretary Through Boosting
We revisit the knapsack-secretary problem (Babaioff et al.; APPROX 2007), a generalization of the classic secretary problem in which items have...

A rank-based multiple-choice secretary algorithm for minimising microgrid operating cost under uncertainties
The increasing use of distributed energy resources changes the way to manage the electricity system. Unlike the traditional centralized powered...

The Secretary Problem—An Update
Considering the secretary selection problem as a non-sequential decision problem formulated in terms of a non-linear integer programming exercise,...

The Secretary Problem with Reservation Costs
We introduce two variants of the secretary problem, where a reservation fee can be paid to keep candidates on a short-list instead of rejecting them...

Explaining Failure: The UN Secretary-Generalship
The end of Ban Ki-moon’s second term in office led to significant changes in the process to select the next Secretary-General, including a clear...

Constant-Competitiveness for Random Assignment Matroid Secretary Without Knowing the Matroid
The Matroid Secretary Conjecture is a notorious open problem in online optimization. It claims the existence of an O(1)-competitive algorithm for the...

Prophet secretary through blind strategies
In the classic prophet inequality, a well-known problem in optimal stop** theory, samples from independent random variables (possibly differently...

Reading the mindset of the secretary of state: sha** policy delivery effectiveness
This paper examines the nature of the relationship between the Secretary of State and the Permanent Secretary, with particular focus on determining...

The Responsibilities of the Minister of Finance, the State Secretary, and the Ministry in the Development of a PFM/IC Policy
The ministry of finance has a key role in both the acceptance and the implementation of this reform. By 'ministry of finance' is meant the minister...

Financial Background Secretary and the Quality of Interaction with Investors
We examine the relationship between financial background secretary and the quality of interaction with investors. Using a unique dataset on investor...

Prophet Secretary for k-Knapsack and l-Matroid Intersection via Continuous Exchange Property
We study the k-knapsack and l-matroid constrained prophet secretary problem, which is a combinatorial prophet secretary problem whose feasible domain...
