Stochastic Shortest Path Problem with Uncertain Delays

چکیده
This paper considers a stochastic version of the shortest path problem, the Stochastic Shortest Path Problem with Delay Excess Penalty on directed, acyclic graphs. In this model, the arc costs are deterministic, while each arc has a random delay, assumed normally distributed. A penalty occurs when the given delay constraint is not satisfied. The objective is to minimize the sum of the path cost and the expected path delay penalty. In order to solve the model, a Stochastic Projected Gradient method within a branch-and-bound framework is proposed and numerical examples are given to illustrate its effectiveness. We also show that, within given assumptions, the Stochastic Shortest Path Problem with Delay Excess Penalty can be reduced to the classic shortest path problem.

Uncertain Programming Models for Shortest Path Problem with Uncertain Arc Lengths
Shortest path problem is a fundamental problem in network optimization and combinational optimization. The existing literature mainly concerned with the problem in deterministic, stochastic or fuzzy environments by using different tools. Different from the existing works, we investigate shortest path problem by regarding arc lengths as uncertain variables which are employed to describe the beha...
متن کاملStochastic Shortest Path Problem with Delay Excess Penalty
We study and solve a particular stochastic version of the Restricted Shortest Path Problem, the Stochastic Shortest Path Problem with Delay Excess Penalty. While arc costs are kept deterministic, arc delays are assumed to be normally distributed and a penalty per time unit occurs whenever the given delay constraint is not satisfied. The objective is to minimize the sum of path cost and total de...
متن کاملDynamic Multi Period Production Planning Problem with Semi Markovian Variable Cost (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper develops a method for solving the single product multi-period production-planning problem, in which the production and the inventory costs of each period arc concave and backlogging is not permitted. It is also assumed that the unit variable cost of the production evolves according to a continuous time Markov process. We prove that this production-planning problem can be Stated as a ...
متن کاملDelay-dependent robust stabilization and $H_{infty}$ control for uncertain stochastic T-S fuzzy systems with multiple time delays
In this paper, the problems of robust stabilization and$H_{infty}$ control for uncertain stochastic systems withmultiple time delays represented by the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzymodel have been studied. By constructing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskiifunctional (LKF) and using the bounding techniques, sufficientconditions for the delay-dependent robust stabilization and $H_{infty}$ control scheme are p...
متن کاملDistributionally robust stochastic shortest path problem
This paper considers a stochastic version of the shortest path problem, the Distributionally Robust Stochastic Shortest Path Problem(DRSSPP) on directed graphs. In this model, the arc costs are deterministic, while each arc has a random delay. The mean vector and the second-moment matrix of the uncertain data are assumed known, but the exact information of the distribution is unknown. A penalty...
