Value at Risk for Confidence Level Quantifications in Robust Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
We show how to introduce the Value at Risk (VaR) concept in optimization algorithms with emphasis in calculation complexity issues. To do so we assume known the PDF of the uncertainties. Our aim is to quantify our confidence on the optimal solution at low complexity without a sampling of the control space. The notion of over-solving appears naturally where it becomes useless to solve accurately near an optimum when the variations in control parameters fall below the uncertainties. Examples show the behavior of this VaR-based correction and link the approach to momentum-based optimization where the mean and variance of a functional are considered. The approach is then applied to an inverse problem with fluids with uncertainties in the definition of the injection devices. It is shown that an optimization problem with an admissible solution in the control space in the deterministic case can lose its solution in the presence of uncertainties on the control parameters which suggests that the control space itself should be redefined in such a situation to recover an admissible problem. This permits to evaluate the cost of making reliable a system which has been deterministically designed, but which has uncertain parameters. A shape optimization problem closes the paper showing the importance of including VaR information during the design iterations and not only at the end.

متن کاملRobust portfolio selection with polyhedral ambiguous inputs
Ambiguity in the inputs of the models is typical especially in portfolio selection problem where the true distribution of random variables is usually unknown. Here we use robust optimization approach to address the ambiguity in conditional-value-at-risk minimization model. We obtain explicit models of the robust conditional-value-at-risk minimization for polyhedral and correlated polyhedral am...

Coordination of green supply chain network, considering uncertain demand and stochastic CO2 emission level
Many supply chain problems involve optimization of various conflicting objectives. This paper formulates a green supply chain network throughout a two-stage mixed integer linear problem with uncertain demand and stochastic environmental respects level. The first objective function of the proposed model considers minimization of supply chain costs while the second objective function minimizes CO...
متن کاملRobust Portfolio Optimization with risk measure CVAR under MGH distribution in DEA models
Financial returns exhibit stylized facts such as leptokurtosis, skewness and heavy-tailness. Regarding this behavior, in this paper, we apply multivariate generalized hyperbolic (mGH) distribution for portfolio modeling and performance evaluation, using conditional value at risk (CVaR) as a risk measure and allocating best weights for portfolio selection. Moreover, a robust portfolio optimizati...
