摘要: In this talk, we consider a distributionally robust version of the utility-based shortfall risk measure (DRSR) where the true probability distribution is unknown and the worst distribution from an ambiguity set of distributions is used to calculate the shortfall risk measure. We start by showing that the DRSR is a convex risk measure and under some special circumstance a coherent risk measure. We then move on to study an optimization problem with the objective of minimizing the DRSR of a random function and investigate numerical tractability of the optimization problem with the ambiguity set being constructed through φ-divergence ball and Kantorovich ball. In the case when the nominal distribution in the balls is an empirical distribution constructed through independent and identically distributed samples, we quantify convergence of the ambiguity sets to the true probability distribution as the sample size increases under the Kantorovich metric and consequently the optimal values of the corresponding DRSR problems. Specifically, we show that the error of the optimal value is linearly bounded by the error of each of the approximate ambiguity sets and subsequently derive a confidence interval of the optimal value under each of the approximation schemes.

摘要:In this talk, we study the asymptotic properties of a distributed algorithm based on dual averaging of gradients. We not only present almost sure convergence and the rate of almost sure convergence, but also asymptotic normality and asymptotic efficiency of the algorithm. Firstly, for general constrained convex optimization problem distributed over a random network, we prove that almost sure consensus can be archived and the estimates of agents converge to the same optimal point. For the case of linear constrained convex optimization, we show that the mirror map of the averaged dual sequence identifies the active constraints of the optimal solution with probability 1, which helps us to prove the almost sure convergence rate and then establish asymptotic normality of the algorithm.

讲座题目:Convergence Analysis and DC Approximation Method for Data-driven Mathematical Programs with Distributionally Robust Chance Constraints

摘要:In this paper, we consider the convergence analysis of data-driven mathematical programs with distributionally robust chance constraints (MPDRCC) under weaker conditions without continuity assumption of distributionally robust probability functions. Moreover, combining with the adta-driven approximation, we propose a DC approximation method to MPDRCC without some special tractable structures, and prove the convergence without continuity assumption of distributionally robust probability functions and apply a recent DC algorithm to solve them. The numerical tests verify the theoretical results and show the effectiveness of the DC approximated data-driven approximation method.
