Fenchel decomposition for stochastic mixed-integer programming

Fenchel decomposition for stochastic mixed-integer programming

This paper introduces a new cutting plane method for two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming (SMIP) called Fenchel decomposition (FD). FD uses a class of valid inequalities termed, FD cuts, which are derived based on Fenchel cutting planes from integer programming. First, we derive FD cuts based on both the first and second-stage variables, and devise an FD algorithm for SMIP and establi...

Dual Decomposition in Stochastic Integer Programming Dual decomposition in stochastic integer programming

We present an algorithm for solving stochastic integer programming problems with recourse, based on a dual decomposition scheme and Lagrangian relaxation. The approach can be applied to multi-stage problems with mixed-integer variables in each time stage. Numerical experience is presented for some two-stage test problems.

Algorithms for Stochastic Mixed-Integer Programming Models

In this chapter, we will study algorithms for both two-stage as well as multi-stage stochastic mixed-integer programs. We present stagewise (resourcedirective) decomposition methods for two-stage models, and scenario (pricedirective) decomposition methods for multi-stage models. The manner in which these models are decomposed relies not only on the specific data elements that are random, but al...

Dual decomposition in stochastic integer programming

We present an algorithm for solving stochastic integer programming problems with recourse, based on a dual decomposition scheme and La-grangian relaxation. The approach can be applied to multi-stage problems with mixed-integer variables in each time stage. Numerical experience is presented for some two-stage test problems.
