Focusing on optimization techniques, this book explores incorporating stochastic parameter variations to reduce costs in corrective measures. It addresses common deterministic substitute problems, emphasizing two key strategies: minimizing expected primary costs while adhering to reliability and deterministic constraints, and minimizing total expected costs, which include construction and design expenses, within the same constraints. The methods presented aim to enhance decision-making in practical applications by integrating uncertainty into the optimization process.

Focusing on optimization under uncertainty, this book explores how to derive robust solutions that remain effective despite variations in random model parameters. It discusses the transformation of stochastic optimization problems into deterministic equivalents, utilizing probability distributions and decision theory concepts. By addressing the challenges posed by randomness, it provides a framework for computing solutions that maintain their integrity in practical applications.

Optimization problems arising in practice usually contain several random parameters. Hence, in order to obtain optimal solutions being robust with respect to random parameter variations, the mostly available statistical information about the random parameters should be considered already at the planning phase. The original problem with random parameters must be replaced by an appropriate deterministic substitute problem, and efficient numerical solution or approximation techniques have to be developed for those problems. This proceedings volume contains a selection of papers on modelling techniques, approximation methods, numerical solution procedures for stochastic optimization problems and applications to the reliability-based optimization of concrete technical or economic systems.

This volume includes a selection of papers presented at the GAMM/ IFIP-Workshop on IIStochastic Optimization: Numerical Methods and ll Technical Applications, held at the Federal Armed Forces Univer sity Munich, May 29-31, 1990. The objective of this meeting was to bring together scientists from Stochastic Programming and from those Engineering areas, where Mathematical Programming models are common tools, as e.g. Optimal structural Design, Power Dispatch, Acid Rain Abatement etc .. Hence, the aim was to discuss the effects of taking into account the in herent randomness of some data of these problems, i.e. considering Stochastic Programming instead of Mathematical Programming models in order to get solutions being more reliable, but not more expen sive. An international programme committe2 was formed which included H.A. Eschenauer (Germany) P. Kall (Switzerland) K. Marti (Germany, Chairman) J. Mayer (Hungary) G.I. Schueller (Austria) Although the number of participants had to be small for technical reasons, the area covered by the lectures during the workshop was rather broad. It contains theoretical insight into stochastic pro gramming problems, new computational approaches, analyses of known solution methods, and applications in such very different technical fields as ecology, energy demands, and optimal reliability of me chanical structures. In particular, the applied presentation also pointed to several open methodological problems.

Kurt Martis lyrische Totenreden sind Klassiker. Seit ihrer Erstveröffentlichung haben sie nichts von ihrer Aktualität und Brillanz verloren. Selten wurde so offen über den Tod und die Trauer geschrieben.'dem herrn unserem gott / hat es ganz und gar nicht gefallen / daß gustav e. lips / durch einen verkehrsunfall starb erstens war er zu jung / zweitens seiner frau ein zärtlicher mann / drittens zwei kindern ein lustiger vater / viertens den freunden ein guter freund / fünftens erfüllt von vielen ideen #133;] im namen dessen der tote erweckte / im namen des toten der auferstand: / wir protestieren gegen den tod von gustav e. lips'

Der Disput zwischen Theologe Kurt Marti und Agnostiker Robert Mächler untersucht, ob humanistische Werte ohne Religion möglich sind und ob Vernunft die Grundlage für Grundwerte wie Menschenrechte und Chancengleichheit bieten kann.
