SIP from NLP Perspective

Rüdiger Schultz, Gerhard-Mercator-Universität Duisburg

Stochastic integer programming can be seen as a branch of nonlinear programming, in fact as global minimization of nonconvex lower semicontinuous functions. So far, this insight has been exploited for structural investigations only. Algorithmically, stochastic integer programming mainly relies on integer programming techniques, at times with a flavour of nonlinear programming or computational algebra. In the talk, we will review these developments in more detail.
