Online Resource Allocation with Continuous Random Consumption: Regret under Degeneracy

We study online resource allocation when both rewards and consumption sizes may be continuously distributed. Requests arrive sequentially and must be accepted or rejected irrevocably under fixed resource capacities. Each request belongs to one of finitely many observable types; conditional on an observable request type, both the reward and the scalar size are random, and the realized size scales a fixed type-specific resource-consumption vector. The model allows the deterministic fluid relaxation to be degenerate. We show that additive regret is governed by the size-weighted mass of requests
