A Sigmoidal Approximation for Chance-Constrained Nonlinear Programs

Yankai Cao, Victor M. Zavala

We propose a sigmoidal approximation for the value-at-risk (that we call SigVaR) and we use this approximation to tackle nonlinear programs (NLPs) with chance constraints. We prove…

Graph-Based Modeling and Simulation of Complex Systems

Jordan Jalving, Yankai Cao, Victor M. Zavala

We present graph-based modeling abstractions to represent cyber-physical dependencies arising in complex systems. Specifically, we propose an algebraic graph abstraction to capture…
