The proposed model is based on the stochastic fractal search (SFS) – a powerful metaheuristic – and a nature-inspired algorithm that is claimed to solve complex optimization problems.

Most of the recent work on 2-stage stochastic combinatorial optimization problems has focused on minimization of the expected cost or the worst-case cost of the solution. Those two objectives can be ...

The subject of stochastic approximation was founded by Robbins and Monro [Ann. Math. Statist. 22 (1951) 400—407]. After five decades of continual development, it has developed into an important area ...
