What About Wednesday? Approximation Algorithms for Multistage Stochastic Optimization
The field of stochastic optimization studies decision making under uncertainty, when only probabilistic information about the future is available. Finding approximate solutions to well-studied optimization problems (such as Steiner tree, Vertex Cover, and Facility Location, to name but a few) presents new challenges when investigated in this framework, which has promoted much research in approx...
متن کاملSampling and Cost-Sharing: Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization Problems
We consider twoand multistage versions of stochastic combinatorial optimization problems with recourse: in this framework, the instance for the combinatorial optimization problem is drawn from a known probability distribution π and is only revealed to the algorithm over two (or multiple) stages. At each stage, on receiving some more information about the instance, the algorithm is allowed to bu...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Reliable Stochastic Combinatorial Optimization
We consider optimization problems that can be formulated as minimizing the cost of a feasible solution wx over an arbitrary combinatorial feasible set F ⊂ {0, 1}n. For these problems we describe a broad class of corresponding stochastic problems where the cost vector W has independent random components, unknown at the time of solution. A natural and important objective that incorporates risk in...
متن کاملAlgorithms Column: Approximation Algorithms for 2-Stage Stochastic Optimization Problems
Uncertainty is a facet of many decision environments and might arise for various reasons, such as unpredictable information revealed in the future, or inherent fluctuations caused by noise. Stochastic optimization provides a means to handle uncertainty by modeling it by a probability distribution over possible realizations of the actual data, called scenarios. The field of stochastic optimizati...
متن کاملSampling-based Algorithms for Stochastic Optimal Control
Controlling dynamical systems in uncertain environments is fundamental and essential in several fields, ranging from robotics, healthcare to economics and finance. In these applications, the required tasks can be modeled as continuous-time, continuous-space stochastic optimal control problems. Moreover, risk management is an important requirement of such problems to guarantee safety during the ...
