Updated-Absolute Expected Value Solution Approach for multistage stochastic programming problems
June 27, 2025
Abstract
This paper introduces the Updated Absolute Expected Value Solution, U-AEEV, a heuristic for solving multi-stage stochastic programming (MSSP) problems with type 2 endogenous uncertainty. U-AEEV is an evolution of the Absolute Expected Value Solution, AEEV [1]. This paper aims to show how U-AEEV overcomes the drawbacks of AEEV and performs better than AEEV. To demonstrate the performance of U-AEEV, we solve 6 MSSP problems with type 2 endogenous uncertainty and compare the solutions and computational resource requirements.
