Monte-Carlo Simulations for Stochastic Optimization
1. Introduction Many important real-world problems contain stochastic elements and require optimization. Stochastic programming and simulation-based optimization are two approaches used to address this issue. We do not explicitly discuss other related areas including stochastic control, stochas-tic dynamic programming, and Markov decision processes. We consider a stochastic optimization problem...
متن کاملEfficient Monte Carlo simulations for stochastic programming
This paper is concerned with chance constrained programming to deal with nonlinear optimization problems with random parameters. Specific Monte Carlo methods to evaluate the gradient and Hessian of probabilistic constraints are proposed and discussed. These methods are implemented in penalization optimization routines adapted to stochastic optimization. They are shown to reduce the computationa...
متن کاملProbabilistic Multi Objective Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Considering Load Uncertainties Using Monte Carlo Simulations
Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) is a multi-variable problem with nonlinear constraints and continuous/discrete decision variables. Due to the stochastic behavior of loads, the ORPD requires a probabilistic mathematical model. In this paper, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used for modeling of load uncertainties in the ORPD problem. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained mul...
متن کاملDynamic Monte Carlo simulations of anisotropic colloids.
We put forward a simple procedure for extracting dynamical information from Monte Carlo simulations, by appropriate matching of the short-time diffusion tensor with its infinite-dilution limit counterpart, which is supposed to be known. This approach--discarding hydrodynamics interactions--first allows us to improve the efficiency of previous dynamic Monte Carlo algorithms for spherical Brownia...
متن کاملQuantifying uncertainties in primordial nucleosynthesis without Monte Carlo simulations
We present a simple method for determining the (correlated) uncertainties of the light element abundances expected from big bang nucleosynthesis, which avoids the need for lengthy Monte Carlo simulations. Our approach helps to clarify the role of the different nuclear reactions contributing to a particular elemental abundance and makes it easy to implement energy-independent changes in the meas...
