Performance of bandit methods in acoustic relay positioning

We consider the problem of maximizing underwater acoustic data transmission, by adaptively positioning a mobile relay. This is a classic exploration vs. exploitation scenario well-described by a multi-armed bandit formulation, which in its canonical form is optimally solved by the Gittins index rule...
