We propose a new scenario tree reduction algorithm for multistage stochastic programs, which integrates the reduction of a scenario tree into the solution process of the stochastic program. This allows to construct a scenario tree that is highly adapted on the optimization problem. The algorithm...

The vast majority of stochastic optimization problems require the approximation of the underlying probability measure, e.g., by sampling or using observations. It is therefore crucial to understand the dependence of the optimal value and optimal solutions on these approximations as the sample...
