Abstract

We introduce a model of graph-constrained dynamic choice with reinforcement modeled by positively α -homogeneous rewards. We show that its empirical process, which can be written as a stochastic approximation recursion with Markov noise, has the same probability law as a certain vertex reinforced random walk. We use this equivalence to show that for α>0 , the asymptotic outcome concentrates around the optimum in a certain limiting sense when “annealed” by letting α↑∞ slowly.
