An approximation method in stochastic optimization and control
We build a multi-stage stochastic program of an asset-liability management problem of a leasing company, analyse model results and present a stress-testing methodology suited for financial applications. At the beginning, the business model of such a company is formulated. We introduce three various risk constraints, namely the chance constraint, the Value-at-Risk constraint and the conditional Value-at-Risk constraint along with the second-order stochastic dominance constraint, which are applied...
This paper addresses a vehicle sequencing problem for adjacent intersections under the framework of Autonomous Intersection Management (AIM). In the context of AIM, autonomous vehicles are considered to be independent individuals and the traffic control aims at deciding on an efficient vehicle passing sequence. Since there are considerable vehicle passing combinations, how to find an efficient vehicle passing sequence in a short time becomes a big challenge, especially for more than one intersection....
The paper presents an approach to improve the efficiency of some two-level optimization algorithms by their implementation in parallel MIMD multiprocessor systems. Diagonal decomposition dynamic programming and parametric optimization methods are considered, and some concepts of their parallelization are discussed. Results regarding the implementation of computations in a parallel multitransputer system are presented. For the analysed problems, the obtained values of speedup are close to the theoretical...
This paper investigates the problem of optimal partitioning of a measurable space among a finite number of individuals. We demonstrate the sufficient conditions for the existence of weakly Pareto optimal partitions and for the equivalence between weak Pareto optimality and Pareto optimality. We demonstrate that every weakly Pareto optimal partition is a solution to the problem of maximizing a weighted sum of individual utilities. We also provide sufficient conditions for the existence of core partitions...
We prove a result for the existence and uniqueness of the solution for a class of mildly nonlinear complementarity problem in a uniformly convex and strongly smooth Banach space equipped with a semi-inner product. We also get an extension of a nonlinear complementarity problem over an infinite dimensional space. Our last results deal with the existence of a solution of mildly nonlinear complementarity problem in a reflexive Banach space.
