The objective is to maximize the posterior probability of correctly selecting the best alternative under a fixed simulation budget, where each alternative is measured by its worst-case performance. We formulate the dynamic simulation budget allocation decision problem as a stochastic control problem under a Bayesian framework. Following the approximate dynamic programming theory, we derive a one-step-ahead dynamic optimal budget allocation policy and prove that this policy achieves consistency and asymptotic optimality.
