报告摘要：

Stochastic optimization is an effective approach for modeling decision-making in natural disaster relief operations, particularly when faced with stochastic disruptions. In this talk, we discuss two specific application examples of infrastructure operations under natural disasters. The first example addresses the integrated protection and restoration of interdependent infrastructure networks. In the formulated two-stage stochastic program under disruption, the first stage focuses on the decisions regarding fortification of components, while the second stage considers repair crew schedules and network flow. The second example considers the preemptive shutoffs and power flow operations of an electric power system under wildfire uncertainty. The occurrence of the wildfire is also uncertainty, which motivates us to construct a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer program, where the recourse problem may have a random length. We show that in spite of non-convex recourse problems, both problems can be solved exactly by cutting-plane algorithms, featuring novel variants of Lagrangian cuts, and we will demonstrate the efficacy of such algorithms.
