Sample average approximation of expected value constrained stochastic programs
We propose a sample average approximation (SAA) method for stochastic programming problems involving an expected value constraint. Such problems arise, for example, in portfolio s...

The Sample Average Approximation Method for Stochastic Discrete Optimization
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...

Monte Carlo simulation approach to stochastic programming
Various stochastic programmingproblemscan be formulated as problems of optimization of an expected value function. Quite often the corresponding expectation function cannot be com...

Sampling Bounds for Stochastic Optimization
A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...

A stochastic programming approach to scheduling in TAC SCM
In this paper, we combine two approaches to handling uncertainty: we use techniques for finding optimal solutions in the expected sense to solve combinatorial optimization proble...
