Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Computation of Reference Priors and Minimax Risk
We present an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing reference priors and minimax risk for general parametric families. Our approach uses MCMC techniques based...

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...

Computing the principal eigenvalue of the Laplace operator by a stochastic method
We describe a Monte Carlo method for the numerical computation of the principal eigenvalue of the Laplace operator in a bounded domain with Dirichlet conditions. It is based on th...

An efficient algorithm for large scale stochastic nonlinear programming problems
The class of stochastic nonlinear programming (SNLP) problems is important in optimization due to the presence of nonlinearity and uncertainty in many applications, including thos...
