LOTUS: A Warm-Start Framework for Powering Dual Decomposition in Large-Scale Two-Stage Stochastic Programs
Emma Cornielje, Berend Markhorst, Alessandro Zocca +1
Solving large two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programs is computationally challenging. We propose LOTUS, a subset-based warm-start framework that enhances Dual Decomposition und…
A Fast Heuristic for Stochastic Steiner Tree Problems
Berend Markhorst, Alessandro Zocca, Joost Berkhout +1
Network design under uncertainty arises in countless real-world settings and can be captured by the Stochastic Steiner Tree Problem (SSTP). Although there are a few approaches spec…
A Two-Step Warm Start Method Used for Solving Large-Scale Stochastic Mixed-Integer Problems
Berend Markhorst, Markus Leitner, Joost Berkhout +2
Two-stage stochastic programs become computationally challenging when the number of scenarios representing parameter uncertainties grows. Motivated by this, we propose the TULIP-al…
Future-proof ship pipe routing: navigating the energy transition
Berend Markhorst, Joost Berkhout, Alessandro Zocca +2
The maritime industry must prepare for the energy transition from fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives. Making ships future-proof is necessary given their long lifetime, but it…
