A scenario decomposition algorithm for 0-1 stochastic programs

چکیده

We propose a scenario decomposition algorithm for stochastic 0-1 programs. The algorithm recovers an optimal solution by iteratively exploring and cutting-off candidate solutions obtained from solving scenario subproblems. The scheme is applicable to quite general problem structures and can be implemented in a distributed framework. Illustrative computational results on standard two-stage stochastic integer programming and nonlinear stochastic integer programming test problems are presented.

Errata to “ A scenario decomposition algorithm for 0 - 1 stochastic programs , ” [ Oper

Section 3 of the paper “A scenario decomposition algorithm for 0-1 stochastic programs,” Operations Research Letters, 41(6):565-569, 2013, contains some errors. The result in Proposition 2 had to be stated with respect to epsilon optimality as opposed to optimality. In this errata the entire Section 3 is reproduced with the errors corrected. The portions highlighted in red indicate the changes ...

Parallel Scenario Decomposition of Risk-Averse 0-1 Stochastic Programs

In this paper, we extend a recently proposed scenario decomposition algorithm (Ahmed (2013)) for risk-neutral 0-1 stochastic programs to the risk-averse setting. Specifically, we consider risk-averse 0-1 stochastic programs with objective functions based on coherent risk measures. Using a dual representation of a coherent risk measure, we first derive an equivalent minimax reformulation of the ...

Optimization Driven Scenario Grouping

Scenario decomposition algorithms for stochastic programs compute bounds by dualizing all nonanticipativity constraints and solving individual scenario problems independently. We develop an approach that improves upon these bounds by re-enforcing a carefully chosen subset of nonanticipativity constraints, effectively placing scenarios into ‘groups’. Specifically, we formulate an optimization pr...

Rigorous vs. Stochastic Algorithms for Two-stage Stochastic Integer Programming Applications

We recently proposed a new hybrid algorithm to solve linear two-stage stochastic integer programs (2SIPs) based on stage wise (primal) decomposition [1]. The master algorithm performs a search on the first stage variables by an evolutionary algorithm (EA), the decoupled second stage scenario problems are solved by mathematical programming. In this paper, the performance of the EA approach is co...

Scalable Heuristics for Stochastic Programming with Scenario Selection

We describe computational procedures to solve a wide-ranging class of stochastic programs with chance constraints where the random components of the problem are discretely distributed. Our procedures are based on a combination of Lagrangian relaxation and scenario decomposition, which we solve using a novel variant of Rockafellar and Wets’ progressive hedging algorithm. Experiments demonstrate ...
