A branch and bound method for stochastic global optimization

A stochastic version of the branch and bound method is proposed for solving stochastic global optimization problems. The method, instead of deterministic bounds, uses stochastic upper and lower estimates of the optimal value of subproblems, to guide the partitioning process. Almost sure convergence of the method is proved and random accuracy estimates derived. Methods for constructing random bo...

Globally Convergent Particle Swarm Optimization via Branch-and-Bound

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a recently developed optimization method that has attracted interest of researchers in various areas. PSO has been shown to be effective in solving a variety of complex optimization problems. With properly chosen parameters, PSO can converge to local optima. However, conventional PSO does not have global convergence. Empirical evidences indicate that the PSO...

In Search of a Scalable, Parallel Branch-and-Bound for Two-Stage Stochastic Integer Optimization

Many real-world planning problems require searching for an optimal solution in the face of uncertain input. One approach to is to express them as a two-stage stochastic optimization problem where the search for an optimum in one stage is informed by the evaluation of multiple possible scenarios in the other stage. If integer solutions are required, then branchand-bound techniques are the accept...

Empirical Estimates in Stochastic Optimization via Distribution Tails

“Classical” optimization problems depending on a probability measure belong mostly to nonlinear deterministic optimization problems that are, from the numerical point of view, relatively complicated. On the other hand, these problems fulfil very often assumptions giving a possibility to replace the “underlying” probability measure by an empirical one to obtain “good” empirical estimates of the ...
