This "Steffen Modified" method addresses the criticism of groups being split up and decreases logistical concerns, but is twice as slow as the optimal method. [11] Another speedy boarding method suggested is the Southwest method, [12] which consists of people being able to choose where they want to sit. While not as fast as Steffen, this method ...
The relationship between these two value functions is called the "Bellman equation". In this approach, the optimal policy in the last time period is specified in advance as a function of the state variable's value at that time, and the resulting optimal value of the objective function is thus expressed in terms of that value of the state variable.
Graphs of probabilities of getting the best candidate (red circles) from n applications, and k/n (blue crosses) where k is the sample size. The secretary problem demonstrates a scenario involving optimal stopping theory [1] [2] that is studied extensively in the fields of applied probability, statistics, and decision theory.

In the design of experiments for estimating statistical models, optimal designs allow parameters to be estimated without bias and with minimum variance. A non-optimal design requires a greater number of experimental runs to estimate the parameters with the same precision as an optimal design. In practical terms, optimal experiments can reduce ...
Solutions (proven optimal for N ≤ 30) have been computed for every N ≤ 10,000. [2] Solutions up to N = 20 are shown below. [2] The obvious square packing is optimal for 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, and 36 circles (the six smallest square numbers), but ceases to be optimal for larger squares from 49 onwards.
Spring training is the time for players to ramp up to the start of the MLB season, and it’s a time for those of us watching to take stock of the MLB landscape.
For instance, let be a root of + + =, then the ring of integers of the field () is [], which means all + with and integers form the ring of integers. An example of a nonprincipal ideal in this ring is the set of all + where and are integers; the cube of this ideal is principal, and in fact the class group is cyclic of order three.
