Data-Driven Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming: Performance Guarantees and Regularization Schemes

We propose a data-driven extension of the stochastic dual dynamic programming (SDDP) algorithm for multistage stochastic linear programs under a continuous-state, non-stationary Markov data process. Unlike traditional SDDP methods—which often assume a known probability distribution, stagewise independent data process, or uncertainty restricted to the right-hand side of constraints—our approach overcomes these limitations, making it more … Read more
