Abstract

This paper presents problems of resource allocation among many activities, such as allocating a given marketing budget among sales territories, where the return function for each territory attains different parameters. Applying the Kuhn-Tucker conditions, we derive “single pass” algorithms for different concave payoff functions, maximizing total returns under a given amount of available effort. Various extensions are also mentioned.
