Example shows 5 resources to be scheduling within a 4x4 rectangular system and 24 time intervals. Only relocations with transfer period (tau) less than 2 time intervals are considered; 30 iterations are executed.

• Figure 0: Shape of the converged value function and corresponding margin values / derivatives of value function / shadow variables of optimzation problem at number of resource = 0, tau = 0, t = 8, 12, 16, 24
• Figure 1: The scheduling actions (the arrows, color indicates number of relocated resources) and value of converged value function at the real number of resource, tau = 0, t = 8, 12, 16, 24
• Figure 2: Detailed result of the 13th location. (1) Result of the CAVE update at t = 20 and iter = 29; (2) Initial values of value functions at iter = 30 and t = 0, 6, 12, 18; (3) Initial values of value functions at t = 20 and iter = 0, 9, 19, 29

For different experiments, the data path in the arguments need to be changed accordingly.

Currently the code may not run direclty in Windows, due to some path issues.
