The primary challenges in systemic risk measurement involve determining an overall reserve level of risk capital and allocating it to different components based on their systemic relevance. In this paper, we introduce a multivariate loss ratio measure (MLRM), which is the minimum amount of capital to be injected into a financial system such that the … Read more
A widely used approximation concept in multiobjective optimization is the concept of enclosures. These are unions of boxes defined by lower and upper bound sets that are used to cover optimal sets of multiobjective optimization problems in the image space. The width of an enclosure is taken as a quality measure. In this paper, we … Read more
Hypervolume is most likely the most often used set quality indicator in (evolutionary) multi-objective optimization. It may be used to compare the quality of solution sets whose images in the objective space are approximations of the true Pareto front. Although in this way we may compare two or more approximations, our knowledge is limited without … Read more
This paper introduces a generalized isotonic optimization framework over an arborescence graph, where each node incurs state-dependent convex costs and a fixed cost upon strict increases. We begin with the special case in which the arborescence is a path and develop a dynamic programming (DP) algorithm with an initial complexity of $O(n^3)$, which we improve … Read more
As countries seek to decarbonize their energy systems, green hydrogen has emerged as a promising energy carrier. This paper studies the production of green hydrogen from offshore wind in the Dutch North Sea, with particular emphasis on understanding how system design decisions and uncertain parameters affect key performance indicators. The analysis builds on a detailed … Read more
Multiobjective optimization is widely used in applications for modeling and solving complex decision-making problems. To help resolve computational and cognitive difficulties associated with problems which have more than three or four objectives, we propose a decomposition and coordination methodology to support decision making for large multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs) with global, quasi-global, and local variables. … Read more
We study a generalization of the classical discrete-time, Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control problem where the noise distributions affecting the states and observations are unknown and chosen adversarially from divergence-based ambiguity sets centered around a known nominal distribution. For a finite horizon model with Gaussian nominal noise and a structural assumption on the divergence that is satisfied … Read more
We study a two-player zero-sum inspection game with incomplete information, where an inspector deploys resources to maximize the expected damage value of detected illegal items hidden by an adversary across capacitated locations. Inspection and illegal resources differ in their detection capabilities and damage values. Both players face uncertainty regarding each other’s available resources, modeled via … Read more
Recognizing the strength of parametric optimization to model uncertainty, we extend the classical linear programming duality theory to a parametric setting. For linear programs with parameters in general locations, we prove parametric weak and strong duality theorems and parametric complementary slackness theorems. ArticleDownload
Collection point networks are rapidly expanding as delivery companies and public authorities promote their implementation to consolidate deliveries and reduce urban congestion. However, rather than catering to public interest by maximizing accessibility, the placement of collection points remains primarily driven by competition among delivery companies, which seek to maximize their market share. This paper thus … Read more
