Escaping the Local Minima via Simulated Annealing: Optimization of Approximately Convex Functions [PDF]

, 2015
We consider the problem of optimizing an approximately convex function over a bounded convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ using only function evaluations. The problem is reduced to sampling from an \emph{approximately} log-concave distribution using the Hit-and-

A Polyhedral Study of the Static Probabilistic Lot-Sizing Problem

, 2016
We study the polyhedral structure of the static probabilistic lot-sizing problem and propose valid inequalities that integrate information from the chance constraint and the binary setup variables. We prove that the proposed inequalities subsume existing

Measuring and explaining farm inefficiency in a panel data set of mixed farms [PDF]

This paper aims to estimate a translog stochastic frontier production function in the analysis of a panel of 150 mixed Catalan farms in the period 1989-1993, in order to attempt to measure and explain variation in technical inefficiency scores with a one-

A Numerical Method for Two‐Stage Stochastic Programs under Uncertainty [PDF]

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2011
Motivated by problems coming from planning and operational management in power generation companies, this work extends the traditional two‐stage linear stochastic program by adding probabilistic constraints in the second stage. In this work we describe, under special assumptions, how the two‐stage stochastic programs with mixed probabilities can be ...
