Title
Periodical Multistage Stochastic Programs
Abstract
In some applications the considered multistage stochastic programs have a periodical behavior. We show that in such cases it is possible to drastically reduce the number of stages by introducing a periodical analogue of the so-called Bellman equations for discounted infinite horizon problems used in Markov decision processes and stochastic optimal control. Furthermore, we describe a variant of the stochastic dual dynamic programming algorithm, applied to the constructed periodical Bellman equations, and provide numerical experiments for the Brazilian interconnected power system problem.
