Various stochastic programmingproblemscan be formulated as problems of optimization of an expected value function. Quite often the corresponding expectation function cannot be com...
In this paper we study a Monte Carlo simulation based approach to stochastic discrete optimization problems. The basic idea of such methods is that a random sample is generated and...

We propose a general-purpose stochastic optimization algorithm, the so-called annealing stochastic approximation Monte Carlo (ASAMC) algorithm, for neural network training. ASAMC c...
The Coarse-Grained Monte Carlo (CGMC) method is a multi-scale stochastic mathematical and simulation framework for spatially distributed systems. CGMC simulations are important too...

Many important physiological processes operate at time and space scales far beyond those accessible to atom-realistic simulations, and yet discrete stochastic rather than continuum...
