Query: Resource allocation problems with expensive function evaluations   The resource allocation problem is among the classical problems in operations
research, and has been studied extensively for decades. However, current
solution approaches are not able to efficiently handle problems with expensive
function evaluations, which can occur in a variety of applications. We study
the integer resource allocation problem with expensive function evaluations,
for both convex and non-convex separable cost functions. We present several
solution methods, both heuristics and exact methods, that aim to limit the
number of function evaluations. The methods are compared in numerical
experiments using both randomly generated instances and instances from two
resource allocation problems occurring in radiation therapy planning. The best
performing method depends on the problem type, and savings in number of
function evaluations can be substantial.
