Approximate dynamic programming methods for advance patient scheduling

This dissertation studies an advance multi-priority patient scheduling problem. Patrick et al. (2008) formulated a version of this problem as a discounted infinite-horizon Markov decision process (MDP) and studied it using a linear programming method based on an affine value function approximation....
