The Infinite Secretary Problem
The Annals of Probability, 1976 An infinite sequence of rankable individuals (rank $1 =$ best) arrive at times which are i.i.d., uniform on (0, 1). We, in effect, observe only their relative ranks as they arrive. We seek a stopping rule to minimize the mean of a prescribed positive increasing function, $q(\bullet)$, of the actual rank of the individual chosen.

Online Trading as a Secretary Problem [PDF]
, 2018 We consider the online problem in which an intermediary trades identical items with a sequence of n buyers and n sellers, each of unit demand. We assume that the values of the traders are selected by an adversary and the sequence is randomly permuted. We give competitive algorithms for two objectives: welfare and gain-from-trade.
