Parallel Processors for Planning Under UncertaintyG. B. Dantzig and P. W. Glynn Annals of Operations Research, Vol. 22, 1-21 (1990) Our goal is to demonstrate for an important class of multistage stochastic models that three techniques — namely nested decomposition, Monte Carlo importance sampling, and parallel computing — can be effectively combined to solve this fundamental problem of large-scale linear programming. |
