Stochastic Optimization: Numerical Methods and Technical Applications

This volume includes a selection of refereed papers presented at the GAMM/IFIP-Workshop on "Stochastic Optimization: Numerical Methods and Technical Applications," held at the Federal Armed Forces University Munich, May 29 - 31, 1990. The objective of this meeting was to bring together scientists from Stochastic Programming and from those Engineering areas, where Mathematical Programming models are common tools, as e. g. Optimal Structural Design, Power Dispatch, Acid Rain Management etc. The first, theoretical part includes the papers by S. D. Flam. H. Niederreiter, E. Pl-chinger and R. Schultz. The second part on methods and applications contains the articles by N. Baba, N. Gr-we and W. R-misch, J. Mayer, E. A. Mc Bean and A. Vasarhelyi.
