Optimal Policy Learning under Budget and Coverage Constraints

ArXi:2605.12235v1 Announce Type: cross We study optimal policy learning under combined budget and minimum coverage constraints. We show that the problem admits a knapsack-type structure and that the optimal policy can be characterized by an affine threshold rule involving both budget and coverage shadow prices. We establish that the linear programming relaxation of the combinatorial solution has an O(1) integrality gap, implying asymptotic equivalence with the optimal discrete allocation.
