A Second-Order Sufficient Optimality Condition for Risk-Neutral Bi-level Stochastic Linear Programs
Keyword(s):
Abstract The expectation functionals, which arise in risk-neutral bi-level stochastic linear models with random lower-level right-hand side, are known to be continuously differentiable, if the underlying probability measure has a Lebesgue density. We show that the gradient may fail to be local Lipschitz continuous under this assumption. Our main result provides sufficient conditions for Lipschitz continuity of the gradient of the expectation functional and paves the way for a second-order optimality condition in terms of generalized Hessians. Moreover, we study geometric properties of regions of strong stability and derive representation results, which may facilitate the computation of gradients.
