A homogeneous predictor-corrector algorithm for stochastic nonsymmetric convex conic optimization with discrete support

We consider a stochastic convex optimization problem over nonsymmetric cones with discrete support. This class of optimization problems has not been studied yet. By using a logarithmically homogeneous self-concordant barrier function, we present a homogeneous predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm for solving stochastic nonsymmetric conic optimization problems. We also derive an iteration bound for the proposed algorithm. Our main result is that we uniquely combine a nonsymmetric algorithm with e fficient methods for computing the predictor and corrector directions. Finally, we describe a realistic application and present computational results for instances of the stochastic facility location problem formulated as a stochastic nonsymmetric convex conic optimization problem.
