The stochastic root-finding problem is that of finding a zero of a vector-valued function known only through a stochastic simulation. The simulation-optimization problem is that of locating a ...

I also hinted that I had a killer solution to the root-finding problem, and promised to show it to you some day. That day has arrived. I first wrote about this problem in 1994.[1,2,3] Those of you ...
