ECTS : 3
Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
Uncertainties are ubiquitous in modeling real-world problems. Including uncertainty in an optimization model is now standard practice in industry,
thanks to the development of both mathematical models and efficient software.
In this course, we will discuss several classes of optimization problems that account for uncertainty
in the problem data. The concepts of multistage problems, probabilistic constraints and risk measures
will be used to derive the problem formulations of interest. We will also review algorithms that can
be used to tackle stochastic programming problems, from both a theoretical and a practical perspective
using recently developed packages.
Compétence à acquérir :
- Identify the main stochastic programming models
- Understand the scenario formulation in stochastic programming.
- Formulate a problem as a multistage stochastic program.
Mode de contrôle des connaissances :
