Global Optimization for Nonconvex Stochastic Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programs
Authors/Creators
Description
We apply sample average approximation (Shapiro, 2003) for solving nonconvex stochastic MINLPs. Global optimality with a probabilistic measure is assured by solving the MINLP samples via convexification techniques (Tawarmalani and Sahinidis, 2004) within spatial branchand-bound and/or outer approximation (Duran and Grossmann, 1986). Preliminary theoretical and computational results are presented.
