Solving chance-constrained problems via a smooth sample-based nonlinear approximation

A Peña-Ordieres, JR Luedtke, A Wächter - SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2020 - SIAM
We introduce a new method for solving nonlinear continuous optimization problems with
chance constraints. Our method is based on a reformulation of the probabilistic constraint as …

A discussion of probability functions and constraints from a variational perspective

W Van Ackooij - Set-Valued and Variational Analysis, 2020 - Springer
Probability constraints are a popular modelling mechanism in applications. They help to
model feasible decisions when the latter are taken prior to observing uncertainty and both …

A novel optimal power management strategy for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with improved adaptability to traffic conditions

Y Zhang, C Wei, Y Liu, Z Chen, Z Hou, N Xu - Journal of Power Sources, 2021 - Elsevier
Adaptability to various driving conditions (TCs) is one of the essential indicators to assess
the optimality of power management strategies (PMSs) of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles …

Nonconvex and nonsmooth approaches for affine chance-constrained stochastic programs

Y Cui, J Liu, JS Pang - Set-Valued and Variational Analysis, 2022 - Springer
Chance-constrained programs (CCPs) constitute a difficult class of stochastic programs due
to its possible nondifferentiability and nonconvexity even with simple linear random …

Optimal Neumann boundary control of a vibrating string with uncertain initial data and probabilistic terminal constraints

MH Farshbaf-Shaker, M Gugat, H Heitsch… - SIAM Journal on Control …, 2020 - SIAM
In optimal control problems, often initial data are required that are not known exactly in
practice. In order to take into account this uncertainty, we consider optimal control problems …

Eventual convexity of probability constraints with elliptical distributions

W Van Ackooij, J Malick - Mathematical Programming, 2019 - Springer
Probability constraints are often employed to intuitively define safety of given decisions in
optimization problems. They simply express that a given system of inequalities depending …

Generalized differentiation of probability functions: parameter dependent sets given by intersections of convex sets and complements of convex sets

W van Ackooij, P Pérez-Aros - Applied Mathematics & Optimization, 2022 - Springer
In this work we consider probability functions working on parameter dependent sets that are
given as an intersection of convex sets and their complements. Such an underlying structure …

Generalized gradients for probabilistic/robust (probust) constraints

W van Ackooij, R Henrion, P Pérez-Aros - Optimization, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Probability functions are a powerful modelling tool when seeking to account for uncertainty
in optimization problems. In practice, such uncertainty may result from different sources for …

Generalized differentiation of probability functions acting on an infinite system of constraints

W van Ackooij, P Pérez-Aros - SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2019 - SIAM
In decision-making problems under uncertainty, probability constraints are a valuable tool
for expressing safety of decisions. They result from taking the probability measure of a given …
