The method is particularly attractive for scenario-based formulations that involve a large number of scenarios, for which “batch” formulations may become inefficient due to high computational costs. Benefits of the method include cheap computations per iteration and fast convergence due to the sparsity of the proposed problem decomposition. date: 2016-06 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 154-159 event_title: 2016 European Control Conference (ECC) event_location: Aalborg, Denmark event_dates: June 29 - July 1, 2016 event_type: conference id_number: 10.1109/ECC.2016.7810279 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-5090-2591-6 book_title: European Control Conference (ECC), 2016 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1109/ECC.2016.7810279 citation: Themelis, A. and Villa, S. and Patrinos, Panagiotis and Bemporad, Alberto Stochastic gradient methods for stochastic model predictive control.
