Optimization of building constructions with probability constraints
Kokrda, Lukáš ; Mrázková, Eva (referee) ; Popela, Pavel (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with penalty approach to stochastic optimization with chance constraints which are applied to structural mechanics. The problem of optimal design of beam dimensions is modeled and solved. The uncertainty is involved in the form of random load. The corresponding mathematical model contains a condition in the form of ordinary differencial equation that is solved by finite element method. The probability condition is approximated by several types of penalty functions. The results are obtained by computations in the MATLAB software.
New Trends in Stochastic Programming
Szabados, Viktor ; Kaňková, Vlasta (advisor) ; Lachout, Petr (referee)
Stochastic methods are present in our daily lives, especially when we need to make a decision based on uncertain events. In this thesis, we present basic approaches used in stochastic tasks. In the first chapter, we define the stochastic problem and introduce basic methods and tasks which are present in the literature. In the second chapter, we present various problems which are non-linearly dependent on the probability measure. Moreover, we introduce deterministic and non-deterministic multicriteria tasks. In the third chapter, we give an insight on the concept of stochastic dominance and we describe the methods that are used in tasks with multidimensional stochastic dominance. In the fourth chapter, we capitalize on the knowledge from chapters two and three and we try to solve the role of portfolio optimization on real data using different approaches. 1
Optimization problems with chance constraints
Drobný, Miloslav ; Adam, Lukáš (advisor) ; Lachout, Petr (referee)
Autor se v diplomové práci zabývá optimalizačními úlohami s pravděpodob- nostními omezeními. Konkrétně pak situacemi, kdy není známo pravděpo- dobnostní rozdělení přítomného náhodného efektu. K řešení těchto problém· lze přistoupit metodami optimistických a pesimistických scénář·, kdy z dané rodiny možných pravděpodobnostních rozdělení vybíráme bu¤ nejpříznivější možnou variantu, nebo naopak tu nejméně výhodnou. Optimalizační úlohy s pravděpodobnostními omezeními formulovanými pomocí výše zmíněných přístup· byly za učinění jistých předpoklad· transformovány do jednoduš- ších a řešitelných optimalizačních úloh. Dosažené výsledky byly aplikovány na reálná data z oblastí optimalizace portfolia a zpracování obrazu. 1

Stochastic programming problems with chance constraints
Harcek, Milan ; Branda, Martin (advisor) ; Kopa, Miloš (referee)
The thesis presents stochastic programming with chance contraints. We begin with the definition of convex set, convex and concave function and we study the convexity of programs with deterministic constraints. We continue with the definition of quasi-concave and quasi-convex function. After that, we put our mind to probabilistic constraints and the convexity of feasible set and show the formulation of joint and separate probabilistic constraints. We discuss properties of feasible set in general case, without any assumptions concerning the probability distribution of random variable. Finally, we apply our theory to random vectors with finite discrete distribution and multiva- riate normal distribution. 1
Modeling of risk aversion
Navrátil, František ; Lachout, Petr (advisor) ; Kopa, Miloš (referee)
of the master thesis Title: Modeling of risk aversion Author: František Navrátil Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Petr Lachout, CSc. Abstract: The thesis discusses various theories that are able to model investor's subjective attitude to risk. The goal of the thesis is to clearly recapitulate possible mathematical approaches and to apply them in a real situation. One of the ways to tackle the problem is to use expected utility theory and a specific shape of a utility function. Another way is to choose a suitable risk measure. Especially useful for the modelling of risk aversion is the class of spectral risk measures that enables investor to choose a risk spectrum that meets his perception of risk. The thesis contains basic definitions concerning stochastic programming - a theory essential to solve the related optimization problems. Keywords: Risk aversion, utility function, probability constraint.
