Research Type Theoretical This paper studies a multi-armed bandit (MAB) version of the range-searching problem. In this MAB setup, we develop sample-efficient algorithms that find, with high probability, near-optimal arms within the given intervals, i.e., we obtain PAC (probably approximately correct) guarantees. We also provide an algorithm for a generalization wherein the weight of each point is a multi-dimensional vector. The sample complexities of our algorithms depend, in particular, on the size of the optimal hitting set of the given intervals. Finally, we establish lower bounds proving that the obtained sample complexities are essentially tight.
