We consider a two-stage adaptive linear optimization problem under right hand side uncertainty with a min–max objective and give a sharp characterization of the power and limitations of affine policies (where the second stage solution is an affine function of the right hand side uncertainty). In particular, we show that the worst-case cost of an optimal affine policy can be times the worst-case cost of an optimal fully-adaptable solution for any δ > 0, where m is the number of linear constraints. We also show that the worst-case cost of the best affine policy is times the optimal cost when the first-stage constraint matrix has non-negative coefficients. Moreover, if there are only k ≤ m uncertain parameters, we generalize the performance bound for affine policies to , which is particularly useful if only a few parameters are uncertain. We also provide an -approximation algorithm for the general case without any restriction on the constraint matrix but the solution is not an affine function of the uncertain parameters. We also give a tight characterization of the conditions under which an affine policy is optimal for the above model. In particular, we show that if the uncertainty set, is a simplex, then an affine policy is optimal. However, an affine policy is suboptimal even if is a convex combination of only (m + 3) extreme points (only two more extreme points than a simplex) and the worst-case cost of an optimal affine policy can be a factor (2 − δ) worse than the worst-case cost of an optimal fully-adaptable solution for any δ > 0. 相似文献

On robust optimization of two-stage systems 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Robust-optimization models belong to a special class of stochastic programs, where the traditional expected cost minimization objective is replaced by one that explicitly addresses cost variability. This paper explores robust optimization in the context of two-stage planning systems. We show that, under arbitrary measures for variability, the robust optimization approach might lead to suboptimal solutions to the second-stage planning problem. As a result, the variability of the second-stage costs may be underestimated, thereby defeating the intended purpose of the model. We propose sufficient conditions on the variability measure to remedy this problem. Under the proposed conditions, a robust optimization model can be efficiently solved using a variant of the L-shaped decomposition algorithm for traditional stochastic linear programs. We apply the proposed framework to standard stochastic-programming test problems and to an application that arises in auctioning excess electric power.

Traveling Salesman, Steiner Tree, and many other famous geometric optimization problems are NP-hard. Since we do not expect
to design efficient algorithms that solve these problems optimally, researchers have tried to design approximation algorithms,
which can compute a provably near-optimal solution in polynomial time.
We survey such algorithms, in particular a new technique developed over the past few years that allows us to design approximation
schemes for many of these problems. For any fixed constant c> 0, the algorithm can compute a solution whose cost is at most (1 + c) times the optimum. (The running time is polynomial for every fixed c> 0, and in many cases is even nearly linear.) We describe how these schemes are designed, and survey the status of a large
number of problems.

The several published methods for mapping a dual solution estimate to a primal solution estimate in posynomial geometric programming provide no criteria for deciding how much deviation from primal feasibility, or discrepancy between the primal and dual objective function values, should be permitted before the primal solution estimate is accepted by the designer. This paper presents a new and simple dual-to-primal conversion method that uses the cost coefficients to provide a sound economic criterion for determining when to accept a primal solution estimate. The primal solution estimate generated is the exact solution to a modified primal obtained from the given primal by modifying the cost coefficients, with the exponent matrix left unchanged. The method is shown to have desirable properties when coupled with a convergent dual algorithm. 相似文献

Numerous scheduling policies are designed to differentiate quality of service for different applications. Service differentiation can in fact be formulated as a generalized resource allocation optimization towards the minimization of some important system characteristics. For complex scheduling policies, however, optimization can be a demanding task, due to the difficult analytical analysis of the system at hand. In this paper, we study the optimization problem in a queueing system with two traffic classes, a work-conserving parameterized scheduling policy, and an objective function that is a convex combination of either linear, convex or concave increasing functions of given performance measures of both classes. In case of linear and concave functions, we show that the optimum is always in an extreme value of the parameter. Furthermore, we prove that this is not necessarily the case for convex functions; in this case, a unique local minimum exists. This information greatly simplifies the optimization problem. We apply the framework to some interesting scheduling policies, such as Generalized Processor Sharing and semi-preemptive priority scheduling. We also show that the well-documented \(c\mu \)-rule is a special case of our framework. 相似文献

In order to compare the performances of alternative shipment consolidation policies, we develop closed-form expressions of the distribution of the maximum waiting time and the average order delay. We examine the tradeoff between the expected delivery frequency, as measured by the expected shipment consolidation cycle length, and the average order delay. The previous analytical results regarding shipment consolidation are aimed at optimizing the performances of alternative policies using cost-based criteria whereas our results are useful under service-based criteria. 相似文献

We prove that the affine deformation of a Minkowski norm is a Minkowski norm. Some important classical norms are derived by using the affine deformation recipe. Applications are done for some special Finsler manifolds. 相似文献

This paper compares the performance on linear systems of equations of three similar adaptive accelerating strategies for restarted GMRES. The underlying idea is to adaptively use spectral information gathered from the Arnoldi process. The first strategy retains approximations to some eigenvectors from the previous restart and adds them to the Krylov subspace. The second strategy also uses approximated eigenvectors to define a preconditioner at each restart. This paper designs a third new strategy which combines elements of both previous approaches. Numerical results show that this new method is both more efficient and more robust. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

We study a single station two-stage reneging queue with Poisson arrivals, exponential services, and two levels of exponential reneging behaviors, extending the popular Erlang A model that assumes a constant reneging rate. We derive approximate analytical formulas representing performance measures for our two-stage queue following the Markov chain decomposition approach. Our formulas not only give accurate results spanning the heavy-traffic to the light-traffic regimes, but also provide insight into capacity decisions. 相似文献

This paper presents an efficient branch and bound algorithm for globally solving sum of geometric fractional functions under geometric constraints, which arise in various practical problems. By using an equivalent transformation and a new linear relaxation technique, a linear relaxation programming problem of the equivalent problem is obtained. The proposed algorithm is convergent to the global optimal solution by means of the subsequent solutions of a series of linear programming problems. Numerical results are reported to show the feasibility of our algorithm. 相似文献

A very important class of homogeneous Riemannian manifolds are the so-called normal homogeneous spaces, which have associated
a canonical connection. In this study, we obtain geometrically the (connected component of the) group of affine transformations
with respect to the canonical connection for a normal homogeneous space. The naturally reductive case is also treated. This
completes the geometric calculation of the isometry group of naturally reductive spaces. In addition, we prove that for normal
homogeneous spaces the set of fixed points of the full isotropy is a torus. As an application of our results it follows that
the holonomy group of a homogeneous fibration is contained in the group of (canonically) affine transformations of the fibers;
in particular, this holonomy group is a Lie group (this is a result of Guijarro and Walschap). 相似文献

In this paper, we extend to the non-convex case the affine invariant geometric heat equation studied by Sapiro and Tannenbaum for convex plane curves. We prove that a smooth embedded plane curve will converge to a point when evolving according to this flow. This result extends the analogy between the affine heat equation and the well-known Euclidean geometric heat equation.

In this paper we study a geometric property for Banach spaces called condition (*), introduced by de Reynaet al in [3], A Banach space has this property if for any weakly null sequencex
n of unit vectors inX, ifx
*
n
is any sequence of unit vectors inX
* that attain their norm at xn’s, then
. We show that a Banach space satisfies condition (*) for all equivalent norms iff the space has the Schur property. We also
study two related geometric conditions, one of which is useful in calculating the essential norm of an operator. 相似文献

Although the coordinate ternary field of a topological affine plane is topological, the converse does not hold. However, an affine plane is topological precisely when its coordinate biternary fields are topological. We extend this result to topological biternary rings and their topological affine Klingenberg planes. Then we examine the locally compact situation. Finally, following the ideas of Knarr and Weigand, we show that in certain circumstances, the continuity of the ternary operators is sufficient to ensure that the biternary ring is topological. This facilitates the construction of locally compact, locally connected affine Klingenberg planes.Dedicated to Professor Dr. Helmut Salzmann on his 65th birthday 相似文献
