Abstract:

Dans cette thèse, nous étudions trois types de problèmes stochastiques : les problèmes avec contraintes probabilistes, les problèmes distributionnellement robustes et les problèmes avec recours. Les difficultés des problèmes stochastiques sont essentiellement liées aux problèmes de convexité du domaine des solutions, et du calcul de l’espérance mathématique ou des probabilités qui nécessitent le calcul complexe d’intégrales multiples. A cause de ces difficultés majeures, nous avons résolu les problèmes étudiées à l’aide d’approximations efficaces.Nous avons étudié deux types de problèmes stoch

Abstract:

Při práci s úlohami stochastického programování se často setkáváme s optimalizačními problémy, které jsou příliš rozsáhlé na to, aby byly zpracovány pomocí rutinních metod matematického programování. Nicméně, v některých případech mají tyto problémy vhodnou strukturu, umožňující použití specializovaných dekompozičních metod, které lze použít při řešení rozsáhlých optimalizačních problémů. Tato práce se zabývá dvěma třídami úloh stochastického programování, které mají speciální strukturu, a to dvoustupňovými stochastickými úlohami a úlohami s pravděpodobnostním omezením, a pokročilými dekompozi

Abstract:

<p>In this research, a novel population-based global optimization method has been studied. The method is called Electromagnetism-like Mechanism or in short EM. The proposed method mimicks the behavior of electrically charged particles. In other words, a set of points is sampled from the feasible region and these points imitate the role of the charged particles in basic electromagnetism. The underlying idea of the method is directing sample points toward local optimizers, which point out attractive regions of the feasible space.The proposed method has been applied to different test problems fro

Abstract:

Stochastic optimization has received extensive attention in recent years due to their extremely potential for solving the large-scale optimization problem. However, the classical optimization algorithm and original stochastic method might prove to be inefficient due to the fact that: 1) the cost-per-iteration is a computational challenge, 2) the convergence and complexity are poorly performed. In this thesis, we exploit the stochastic optimization from three kinds of "order" optimization to address the problem. For the stochastic zero-order optimization, we introduce a novel variance reduction

Abstract:

We consider unconstrained Simulation Optimization (SO) problems, that is, optimization problems where the underlying objective function is unknown but can be estimated at any chosen point by repeatedly executing a Monte Carlo (stochastic) simulation. SO, introduced more than six decades ago through the seminal work of Robbins and Monro (and later by Kiefer and Wolfowitz), has recently generated much attention. Such interest is primarily because of SOs flexibility, allowing the implicit specification of functions within the optimization problem, thereby providing the ability to embed virtually

In this thesis, we first develop a new method called penalty function with memory (PFM). PFM consists of a penalty parameter and a measure of constraint violation and it converts a discrete optimization via simulation (DOvS) problem with stochastic constraints into a series of DOvS problems without stochastic constraints. PFM determines a penalty of a visited solution based on past results of feasibility checks on the solution. Specifically, assuming a minimization problem, a penalty parameter of PFM, namely the penalty sequence, diverges to infinity for an infeasible solution but converges to

Abstract:

The focus of this thesis is on the design and analysis of algorithms for basic problems in Stochastic Optimization, specifically a class of fundamental combinatorial optimization problems where there is some form of uncertainty in the input. Since many interesting optimization problems are computationally intractable (NP-Hard), we resort to designing approximation algorithms which provably output good solutions. However, a common assumption in traditional algorithms is that the exact input is known in advance. What if this is not the case? What if there is uncertainty in the input? With the gr

In this thesis the maintenance scheduling optimization problem of a multi-component system is formulated as a multi-objective stochastic dynamic problem, which is solved by first transforming the multi-objective formulation into a single-objective one via the weighted-sum method, and then using an iterated two-stage stochastic linear programming approach to solve the stochastic problem. The main application is the maintenance of a commercial gas turbine aero-engine. The model determines optimal opportunistic replacement schedules considering both deterministic and stochastic engine configurati

Abstract:

Energy harvesting from environmental energy sources (e.g., sunlight) or from man-made sources (e.g., RF energy) has been a game-changing paradigm, which enabled the possibility of making the devices in the Internet of Things or wireless sensor networks operate autonomously and with high performance for years or even decades without human intervention. However, an energy harvesting system must be correctly designed to achieve such a goal and therefore the energy management problem has arisen and become a critical aspect to consider in modern wireless networks.
