Decomposition of large-scale stochastic optimal control problems
Résumé
In this paper, we present an Uzawa-based heuristic that is
adapted to certain type of stochastic optimal control problems. More
precisely, we consider dynamical systems that can be divided into smallscale
subsystems linked through a static almost sure coupling constraint
at each time step. This type of problem is common in production/
portfolio management where subsystems are, for instance, power
units, and one has to supply a stochastic power demand at each time
step. We outline the framework of our approach and present promising
numerical results on a simplified power management problem.
