This paper considers an alternative way of structuring stochastic variables in a dynamic programming framework where the model structure dictates that numerical methods of solution are necessary. Rather than estimating integrals within a Bellman equation

Subdifferential Convergence in Stochastic Programs [PDF]
Summary: We discuss convergence behavior of subdifferentials in approximation schemes for stochastic programs. This information is useful for solving stochastic programs by nonlinear programming techniques. \textit{R. J.-B. Wets} [`Variational inequalities and complementarity problems', New York, 375-404 (1980)] showed that equiconvergence of closed ...

Effects of Probability Function on the Performance of Stochastic Programming [PDF]
Stochastic programming is a valuable optimization tool where used when some or all of the design parameters of an optimization problem are defined by stochastic variables rather than by deterministic quantities.

A Weighted Robust Two-Stage Stochastic Optimization Model for Supplier Selection and Order Allocation under Uncertainty [PDF]
This paper presents an integrated model as a combination of fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), scenario-based two-stage stochastic programming and robust optimization approaches for the problem of supplier selection and order allocation under ...

We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Simulation-Based EDAs for Stochastic Programming Problems
With the rapid growth of simulation software packages, generating practical tools for simulation-based optimization has attracted a lot of interest over the last decades. In this paper, a modified method of Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) is
