A stochastic programming approach for planning horizons of infinite horizon capacity planning problems

Planning horizon is a key issue in production planning. Different from previous approaches based on Markov Decision Processes, we study the planning horizon of capacity planning problems within the framework of stochastic programming. We first consider an infinite horizon stochastic capacity planning model involving a single resource, linear cost structure, and discrete distributions for general stochastic cost and demand data (non-Markovian and non-stationary). We give sufficient conditions for the existence of an optimal solution. Furthermore, we study the monotonicity property of the finite horizon approximation of the original problem. We show that, the optimal objective value and solution of the finite horizon approximation problem will converge to the optimal objective value and solution of the infinite horizon problem, when the time horizon goes to infinity. These convergence results, together with the integrality of decision variables, imply the existence of a planning horizon. We also develop a useful formula to calculate an upper bound on the planning horizon. Then by decomposition, we show the existence of a planning horizon for a class of very general stochastic capacity planning problems, which have complicated decision structure.     

Risk sensitive control of pure jump processes on a general state space

We study stochastic control problem for pure jump processes on a general state space with risk sensitive discounted and ergodic cost criteria. For the discounted cost criterion we prove the existence and Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman characterization of optimal α-discounted control for bounded cost function. For the ergodic cost criterion we assume a Lyapunov type stability assumption and a small cost condition. Under these assumptions we show the existence of the optimal risk-sensitive ergodic control.

Solutions to Constrained Optimal Control Problems with Linear Systems

This paper is devoted to present solutions to constrained finite-horizon optimal control problems with linear systems, and the cost functional of the problem is in a general form. According to the Pontryagin’s maximum principle, the extremal control of such problem is a function of the costate trajectory, but an implicit function. We here develop the canonical backward differential flows method and then give the extremal control explicitly with the costate trajectory by canonical backward differential flows. Moreover, there exists an optimal control if and only if there exists a unique extremal control. We give the proof of the existence of the optimal solution for this optimal control problem with Green functions.     

Existence of an optimal control for stochastic systems governed by ito equations

We give existence theorems for stochastic control problems with a lower semicontinuous cost functional and governed by Ito equations. We prove that two formulations of the fundamental problem are equivalent, one involving nonanticipative controls and the other involving (measurable) feedback controls. We then use the concept ofconvergence in distribution to prove existence for the first problem, and hence for the second as well. While our work has certain similarities with a paper of Kushner, our techniques are different and lead to more general results.     

Maximum Principle of Optimal Control of the Primitive Equations of the Ocean with Two Point Boundary State Constraint

We consider a class of stochastic impulse control problems of general stochastic processes i.e. not necessarily Markovian. Under fairly general conditions we establish existence of an optimal impulse control. We also prove existence of combined optimal stochastic and impulse control of a fairly general class of diffusions with random coefficients. Unlike, in the Markovian framework, we cannot apply quasi-variational inequalities techniques. We rather derive the main results using techniques involving reflected BSDEs and the Snell envelope.     

Single-Machine Scheduling with Exponential Processing Times and General Stochastic Cost Functions

We study a single-machine stochastic scheduling problem with n jobs, in which each job has a random processing time and a general stochastic cost function which may include a random due date and weight. The processing times are exponentially distributed, whereas the stochastic cost functions and the due dates may follow any distributions. The objective is to minimize the expected sum of the cost functions. We prove that a sequence in an order based on the product of the rate of processing time with the expected cost function is optimal, and under certain conditions, a sequence with the weighted shortest expected processing time first (WSEPT) structure is optimal. We show that this generalizes previous known results to more general situations. Examples of applications to practical problems are also discussed.This work was partially supported by the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong under Earmarked Grants No. CUHK4418/99E and No. PolyU 5081/00E.
