Researchers have investigated satisficing regret minimization in nonstationary K-armed bandits, finding that even minor deviations from stationarity significantly increase regret. The study demonstrates that in piecewise-stationary settings with multiple segments, optimal regret scales with the number of segments and time T, unlike the stationary case where constant regret is achievable. A novel Fano-based framework, incorporating a post-interaction reference construction, was developed to analyze these nonstationary bandits, extending existing methods. AI
