TY - JOUR A1 - Gonzalez Grandon, Tatiana A1 - Henrion, Rene A1 - Perez-Aros, Pedro T1 - Dynamic probabilistic constraints under continuous random distributions N2 - In this paper we address novel results on the theoretical structural analysis of dynamic joint probabilistic constraints under continuous random variables. This dynamic probabilistic function is important when decisions are time-dependent and when the modeler can react on past observations. We first study the continuity of dynamic probabilistic constraints and provide strong and weak semi-continuous results depending on whether the policies are supposed to be in the L^p or W^{1,p} spaces. Moreover, we prove the non-convexity of the feasible set of decisions induced by a dynamic probability function in the L^p space. Lastly, for a simple two-stage model, verifiable conditions for Lipschitz continuity and differentiability of this probability function are derived and endowed with explicit derivative formulae.

Whereas solution approaches for probabilistic constraints are often developed in case the uncertainties can be assumed to follow a certain probability distribution, robust approaches are usually used in case solutions are sought that are feasible for all realizations of uncertainties within some pre-defined uncertainty set. As many applications contain different types of uncertainties that require robust as well as probabilistic treatments, we deal with a class of joint probabilistic/robust constraints as its appears in optimization problems under uncertainty. Focusing on complex uncertain gas network optimization problems, we show the relevance of this class of problems for the task of maximizing free booked capacities in an algebraic model for a stationary gas network. We furthermore present approaches for their solution. Finally, we study the problem of controlling a transient system that is governed by the wave equation. The task consists in determining controls such that a certain robustness measure remains below some given upper bound, with high probability.
