Abstract:

Sample average approximation (SAA) is a well-known solution methodology for traditional stochastic programs which are risk neutral in the sense that they consider optimization of expectation functionals. In this thesis we establish sample average approximation methods for two classes of non-traditional stochastic programs. The first class is that of stochastic min-max programs, i.e., min-max problems with expected value objectives, and the second class is that of expected value constrained stochastic programs. We specialize these SAA methods for risk-averse stochastic problems with a bi-criter

Abstract:

Distributed computer systems are becoming increasingly prevalent, thanks to modern technology, and this leads to significant challenges for the software developers of these systems. In particular, in order to provide a certain service level agreement with users, the performance characteristics of the system are critical. However, developers today typically consider performance only in the later stages of development, when it may be too late to make major changes to the design. In this thesis, we propose a performance driven approach to development — based around tool support that allows develo

Abstract:

The presence of substitution among multiple similar products plays an important role in inventory management. It has been observed in the literature that incorporating the impact of substitution among products can substantially improve the profit and reduce the understock or overstock risk. This thesis focuses on exploring and exploiting the impact of substitution on inventory management problems by theoretically analyzing mathematical models and developing efficient solution approaches. To that end, we address four problems. In the first problem, we study different pricing strategies and th

Abstract:

Stochastic linear programs are linear programs in which some of the problem data are random variables. The particular kind of programs that we study belong to the recourse model. Under this model, some decisions are postponed until better information becomes available (e.g., an outcome of a random variable is realized), while other decisions must be made 'here and now.' For example, in a telecommunication network planning problem, decisions regarding the addition of network capacity have to be made before knowing customer demand (i.e., 'here and now'). Once the demand is realized, efficient us

Abstract:

Stochastic programming concerns mathematical programming in the presence of uncertainty. In a stochastic program uncertain parameters are modeled as random vectors and one aims to minimize the expectation, or some risk measure, of a loss function. However, stochastic programs are computationally intractable when the underlying uncertain parameters are modeled by continuous random vectors. Scenario generation is the construction of a finite discrete random vector to use within a stochastic program. Scenario generation can consist of the discretization of a parametric probabilistic model, or the

Abstract:

Tato diplomová práce uvádí základní poznatky matematického a především stochastického programování. Navíc se zabývá použitím softwaru AIMMS při vytváření a řešení optimalizačních problémů. Naším hlavním cílem je naprogramovat v softwaru AIMMS několik metod řešení problémů stochastického programování a ukázat jejich použití a užitečnost na vybraných problémech. Jedním z problémů, který jsme si zvolili, je model spalovny. Všechny AIMMS programy, které v našem textu použijeme a popíšeme, a jejich zdrojové kódy budou přiloženy v dodatcích.

La santé du constitue une préoccupation croissante pour les éleveurs, propriétaires, et le grand public, plusieurs rapports ayant récemment souligné les potentiels impacts négatifs des pratiques d'élevage sur la santé des chiens de race (APGAW 2009, Nicholas 2011), au travers de la diffusion d’affections héréditaires par exemple. Ainsi, l’OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, http://www.offa.org) considère que la dysplasie de la hanche affecte au moins 163 races de chiens, avec des prévalences allant de 1,2 à 72,1%. La mise en œuvre de stratégie d'élevage afin de réduire l'incidence des mala
