چکیده

We introduce stochastic optimization problems involving stochastic dominance constraints. We develop necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality and duality theory for these models and show that the Lagrange multipliers corresponding to dominance constraints are concave nondecreasing utility functions. The models and results are illustrated on a portfolio optimization problem.

Electricity Procurement for Large Consumers with Second Order Stochastic Dominance Constraints

This paper presents a decision making approach for mid-term scheduling of large industrial consumers based on the recently introduced class of Stochastic Dominance (SD)- constrained stochastic programming. In this study, the electricity price in the pool as well as the rate of availability (unavailability) of the generating unit (forced outage rate) is considered as uncertain parameters. Th...

Safe Approximation for Optimization with First Order Stochastic Dominance Constraints

Recently, there has been a significant interest in introducing stochastic dominance relations as constraints into stochastic optimization problems. Optimization with first order stochastic dominance constraints in discrete distribution case can be formulated as mixed integer programs. In this article, we present a method to safely approximate such kinds of mixed integer programs. © 2009 World A...

Lipschitzian Properties and Stability of a Class of First-Order Stochastic Dominance Constraints

Considering first-order stochastic dominance constraints for random variables arising as optimal values of stochastic programs with linear recourse, verifiable sufficient conditions for metric regularity are presented. A growth condition developed in [22] has a crucial role in the analysis of the present paper. Implications regarding stability and sensitivity of optimal values and optimal solut...

Valid inequalities and restrictions for stochastic programming problems with first order stochastic dominance constraints

Stochastic dominance relations are well-studied in statistics, decision theory and economics. Recently, there has been significant interest in introducing dominance relations into stochastic optimization problems as constraints. In the discrete case, stochastic optimization models involving second order stochastic dominance (SSD) constraints can be solved by linear programming (LP). However, pr...

Optimality and duality theory for stochastic optimization problems with nonlinear dominance constraints

We consider a new class of optimization problems involving stochastic dominance constraints of second order. We develop a new splitting approach to these models, optimality conditions and duality theory. These results are used to construct special decomposition methods.
