Abstract

The global solution of bilevel dynamic optimization problems is discussed. An overview of a deterministic algorithm for bilevel programs with nonconvex functions participating is given, followed by a summary of deterministic algorithms for the global solution of optimization problems with nonlinear ordinary differential equations embedded. Improved formulations for scenario-integrated optimization are proposed as bilevel dynamic optimization problems. Solution procedures for some of the problems are given, while for others open challenges are discussed. Illustrative examples are given.

Nondeterministic algorithm

In computer programming, a nondeterministic algorithm is an algorithm that, even for the same input, can exhibit different behaviors on different runs, as opposed to a deterministic algorithm. There are several ways an algorithm may behave differently from run to run. A concurrent algorithm can perform differently on different runs due to a race condition. A probabilistic algorithm's behaviors depends on a random number generator.

Optimization problem

In mathematics, computer science and economics, an optimization problem is the problem of finding the best solution from all feasible solutions. Optimization problems can be divided into two categories, depending on whether the variables are continuous or discrete: An optimization problem with discrete variables is known as a discrete optimization, in which an object such as an integer, permutation or graph must be found from a countable set.

Deterministic algorithm

In computer science, a deterministic algorithm is an algorithm that, given a particular input, will always produce the same output, with the underlying machine always passing through the same sequence of states. Deterministic algorithms are by far the most studied and familiar kind of algorithm, as well as one of the most practical, since they can be run on real machines efficiently. Formally, a deterministic algorithm computes a mathematical function; a function has a unique value for any input in its domain, and the algorithm is a process that produces this particular value as output.
