We consider power system expansion planning under uncertainty. In our approach, integer programming and stochastic programming provide a basic framework. We develop a multistage stochastic programming model in which some of the variables are restricted to integer values. By utilizing the special property of the problem, called block separable recourse, the problem is transformed into a two-stag...

Background: Periprosthetic hip infections (PHIs) are troublesome complications of hip arthroplasties. The gold standard procedure for treating chronic PHI is a 2-stage approach. Recently, however, more conservative approaches have been developed to spare the osseointegrated components and avoid sequestra, bone loss, devascularization, and difficult reconstructions. The partial ...

POLYNOMIAL APPROXIMATION METHOD FOR STOCHASTIC PROGRAMMING Dongxue Ma October 2nd, 2009 Two stage stochastic programming is an important part in the whole area of stochastic programming, and is widely spread in multiple disciplines, such as financial management, risk management, and logistics. The two stage stochastic programming is a natural extension of linear programming by incorporating unc...

in the present study, water allocation of latian dam between agricultural products was evaluated by using inexact two-stage optimization model and the final results were compared to a fuzzy interval. data were collected from the regional water and agricultural organization of tehran province for 1991 to 2009 years. the results showed that by using interval fuzzy programming, 63%, 69%, 49% and 3...

In this paper, an integer programming model for two-dimensional cutting stock problems is proposed. In the problems addressed, it is intended to cut a set of small rectangular items of given sizes from a set of larger rectangular plates in such a way that the total number of used plates is minimized. The two-stage and three-stage, exact and non-exact, problems are considered. Other issues are a...
