Abstract
In this article, we study weak stationarity conditions (A- and C-) for a particular class of degenerate stochastic mathematical programming problems with complementarity constraints (SMPCC, for short). Importance of the weak stationarity concepts in absence of SMPCC-LICQ are presented through toy problems in which the point of local or global minimizers are weak stationary points rather than satisfying other stronger stationarity conditions. Finally, a well known technique to solve stochastic programming problems, namely sample average approximation (SAA) method, is studied to show the significance of the weak stationarity conditions for degenerate SMPCC problems. Consistency of weak stationary estimators are established under weaker constraint qualifications than SMPCC-LICQ.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
