Stochastic Mathematical Programs with Equilibrium Constraints, Modeling and Sample Average Approximation

In this paper, we discuss the sample average approximation (SAA) method applied to a class of stochastic mathematical programs with variational (equilibrium) constraints. To this end, we briefly investigate piecewise structure and directional differentiability of both — the lower level equilibrium solution and objective integrant. We show almost sure convergence of optimal values, optimal solutions … Read more
