Rested and Restless Bandits With Constrained Arms and Hidden States: Applications in Social Networks and 5G Networks

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
The problem of rested and restless multi-armed bandits with constrained availability (RMAB-CA) of arms is considered. The states of arms evolve in Markovian manner and the exact states are hidden from the decision maker. First, some structural results on

Climate‐related armed conflict and communities' resistance to Rural Grazing Area settlement policy in Nigeria's Middlebelt

open access: yesConflict Resolution Quarterly, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 121-141, Winter 2023., 2023
Abstract In Nigeria, resource contests have sparked unending ecological conflict. As a result, conflict resolution measures have been proposed to mitigate climate‐related conflict. However, the acceptance of such policies is hampered by ethnic suspicions, communities' exclusion, religious sensitivities, and a lack of political will.

A Fast-Pivoting Algorithm for Whittle’s Restless Bandit Index

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
The Whittle index for restless bandits (two-action semi-Markov decision processes) provides an intuitively appealing optimal policy for controlling a single generic project that can be active (engaged) or passive (rested) at each decision epoch, and ...

Distributed reinforcement learning for dynamic spectrum allocation in cognitive radio‐based internet of things

open access: yesIET Networks, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 207-220, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Cognitive Radio (CR) with other advancements such as the Internet of things and machine learning has recently emerged as the main involved technique to use spectrum in an efficient manner. It can access the spectrum in a fully dynamic way and exploit the unused spectrum resources without creating any harm to cognitive users. In this paper, the
