A Primal-Dual Decomposition Algorithm for Multistage Stochastic Convex Programming

This paper presents a new and high performance solution method for multistage stochastic convex programming. Stochastic programming is a quantitative tool developed in the field of optimization to cope with the problem of decision-making under uncertainty. Among others, stochastic programming has found many applications in finance, such as asset-liability and bond-portfolio management. However, many stochastic programming applications still remain computationally intractable because of their overwhelming dimensionality. In this paper we propose a new decomposition algorithm for multistage stochastic programming with a convex objective and stochastic recourse matrices, based on the path-following interior point method combined with the homogeneous self-dual embedding technique. Our preliminary numerical experiments show that this approach is very promising in many ways for solving generic multistage stochastic programming, including its superiority in terms of numerical efficiency, as well as the flexibility in testing and analyzing the model.Research supported by Hong Kong RGC Earmarked Grant CUHK4233/01E.

Applications of stochastic programming: Achievements and questions

When solving a decision problem under uncertainty via stochastic programming it is essential to choose or to build a suitable stochastic programming model taking into account the nature of the real-life problem, character of input data, availability of software and computer technology. Besides a brief review of history and achievements of stochastic programming, selected modeling issues concerning applications of multistage stochastic programs with recourse (the choice of the horizon, stages, methods for generating scenario trees, etc.) will be discussed.     

Computational complexity of stochastic programming problems

Stochastic programming is the subfield of mathematical programming that considers optimization in the presence of uncertainty. During the last four decades a vast quantity of literature on the subject has appeared. Developments in the theory of computational complexity allow us to establish the theoretical complexity of a variety of stochastic programming problems studied in this literature. Under the assumption that the stochastic parameters are independently distributed, we show that two-stage stochastic programming problems are ♯P-hard. Under the same assumption we show that certain multi-stage stochastic programming problems are PSPACE-hard. The problems we consider are non-standard in that distributions of stochastic parameters in later stages depend on decisions made in earlier stages.

Stochastic modelling of reservoir operations

The nature of hydrologic parameters in reservoir management models is uncertain. In mathematical programming models the uncertainties are dealt with either indirectly (sensitivity analysis of a deterministic model) or directly by applying a chance-constrained type of formulation or some of the stochastic programming techniques (LP and DP based models). Various approaches are reviewed in the paper. Moran's theory of storage is an alternative stochastic modelling approach to mathematical programming techniques. The basis of the approach and its application is presented. Reliability programming is a stochastic technique based on the chance-constrained approach, where the reliabilities of the chance constraints are considered as extra decision variables in the model. The problem of random event treatment in the reservoir management model formulation using reliability programming is addressed in this paper.     

Relaxations of linear programming problems with first order stochastic dominance constraints

Linear stochastic programming problems with first order stochastic dominance (FSD) constraints are non-convex. For their mixed 0-1 linear programming formulation we present two convex relaxations based on second order stochastic dominance (SSD). We develop necessary and sufficient conditions for FSD, used to obtain a disjunctive programming formulation and to strengthen one of the SSD-based relaxations.     

Partially observable multistage stochastic programming

We propose a class of partially observable multistage stochastic programs and describe an algorithm for solving this class of problems. We provide a Bayesian update of a belief-state vector, extend the stochastic programming formulation to incorporate the belief state, and characterize saddle-function properties of the corresponding cost-to-go function. Our algorithm is a derivative of the stochastic dual dynamic programming method.     

Two-stage stochastic variational inequalities: an ERM-solution procedure

We propose a two-stage stochastic variational inequality model to deal with random variables in variational inequalities, and formulate this model as a two-stage stochastic programming with recourse by using an expected residual minimization solution procedure. The solvability, differentiability and convexity of the two-stage stochastic programming and the convergence of its sample average approximation are established. Examples of this model are given, including the optimality conditions for stochastic programs, a Walras equilibrium problem and Wardrop flow equilibrium. We also formulate stochastic traffic assignments on arcs flow as a two-stage stochastic variational inequality based on Wardrop flow equilibrium and present numerical results of the Douglas–Rachford splitting method for the corresponding two-stage stochastic programming with recourse.
