On the Convergence of Decomposition Methods for Multistage Stochastic Convex Programs

چکیده
We prove the almost-sure convergence of a class of samplingbased nested decomposition algorithms for multistage stochastic convex programs in which the stage costs are general convex functions of the decisions, and uncertainty is modelled by a scenario tree. As special cases, our results imply the almost-sure convergence of SDDP, CUPPS and DOASA when applied to problems with general convex cost functions.

A general decomposition framework for large convex optimization problems based on augmented Lagrangians is described. The approach is then applied to multistage stochastic programming problems in two di erent ways: by decomposing the problem into scenarios and by decomposing it into nodes corresponding to stages. Theoretical convergence properties of the two approaches are derived and a computa...
متن کاملConvergence Analysis of Sampling-Based Decomposition Methods for Risk-Averse Multistage Stochastic Convex Programs
We consider a class of sampling-based decomposition methods to solve risk-averse multistage stochastic convex programs. We prove a formula for the computation of the cuts necessary to build the outer linearizations of the recourse functions. This formula can be used to obtain an efficient implementation of Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming applied to convex nonlinear problems. We prove the al...
متن کاملOn regularization with normal solutions in decomposition methods for multistage stochastic programming
We consider well-known decomposition techniques for multistage stochastic programming and a new scheme based on normal solutions for stabilizing calculations as the iteration process progresses. The given algorithms combine ideas from finite perturbation of convex programs and level bundle methods to regularize the so-called forward step of these decomposition methods. In contrast to other regu...
متن کاملNested Decomposition of Multistage Stochastic Integer Programs with Binary State Variables
Multistage stochastic integer programming (MSIP) combines the difficulty of uncertainty, dynamics, and non-convexity, and constitutes a class of extremely challenging problems. A common formulation for these problems is a dynamic programming formulation involving nested cost-to-go functions. In the linear setting, the cost-to-go functions are convex polyhedral, and decomposition algorithms, suc...
متن کاملCut sharing for multistage stochastic linear programs with interstage dependency
Multistage stochastic programs with interstage independent random parameters have recourse functions that do not depend on the state of the system. Decomposition-based algorithms can exploit this structure by sharing cuts (outer-linearizations of time recourse function) among different scenario subproblems at the same stage. The ability to share cuts is necessary in practical implementations of...
