SequentialMonteCarloRobustAlgorithm

class otrobopt.SequentialMonteCarloRobustAlgorithm(*args)

Sequential Monte Carlo robust optimization algorithm.

Solves a robust optimization problem by alternating discretizing measures and solving deterministic problems.

Measures are discretized using an initial size that can be set with setInitialSamplingSize() and a size increment that is set with setSamplingSizeIncrement().

The optimization problems relies on a Multi-Start algorithm from an initial LHS experiment and an internal solver that can be set by setOptimizationAlgorithm(). The ResourceMap key SequentialMonteCarloRobustAlgorithm-ConvergenceFactor can be used to control the convergence criteria of the inner solver.

The algorithm stops when the number of iterations has been reached or the absolute error is small enough.

Parameters:
problemRobustOptimizationProblem

Robust optimization problem

solveropenturns.OptimizationAlgorithm
