In this paper we propose a crash-start technique for interior point methods applicable to multi-stage stochastic programming problems. The main idea is to generate an initial point for the interior point solver by decomposing the barrier problem associated with the deterministic equivalent at...

Multi-homing is used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to connect to the Internet via different network providers. This study develops a routing strategy under multi-homing in the case where network providers charge ISPs according to top-percentile pricing (i.e. based on the θth highest...
