An Optimal Approximate Dynamic Programming Algorithm for the Lagged Asset Acquisition Problem

We consider a multistage asset acquisition problem where assets are purchased now, at a price that varies randomly over time, to be used to satisfy a random demand at a particular point in time in the future. We provide a rare proof of convergence for an approximate dynamic programming algorithm usi...
