On augmented Lagrangian decomposition methods for multistage stochastic programs

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A general decomposition framework for large convex optimization problems based on augmented Lagrangians is described. The approach is then applied to multistage stochastic programming problems in two different ways: by decomposing the problem into scenarios and by decomposing it into nodes corresponding to stages. Theoretical convergence properties of the two approaches are derived and a computational illustration is presented.
