This paper introduces a novel optimization framework for deriving tight performance guarantees for prophet inequalities, eliminating the traditional need for constructing specific counterexamples.
This paper investigates the IID Prophet Inequality problem with a random horizon, focusing on designing optimal stopping strategies that go beyond the limitations of previous work, which primarily focused on increasing hazard rate distributions.
Developing a versatile greedy-based technique for Single-Sample Prophet Inequalities directly, improving competitive guarantees.
