Adaptive Partition-based SDDP Algorithms for Multistage Stochastic Linear Programming
share
In this paper, we extend the adaptive partition-based approach for solving two-stage stochastic programs with fixed recourse to the multistage stochastic programming setting. The proposed algorithms integrate the adaptive partition-based strategy with a popular approach for solving multistage stochastic programs, the stochastic dual dynamic programming, via different tree-traversal strategies in order to enhance its computational efficiency. Our numerical experiments on a hydro-thermal power generation planning problem show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
