  • Abstract
    In this paper, we explore the possibility of applying Monte Carlo methods (i.e., randomization) to semi-infinite programming problems. Equivalent stochastic optimization problems are derived for a general class of semi-infinite programming problems. For the equivalent stochastic optimization problems, algorithms based on stochastic approximation and Monte Carlo sampling methods are proposed. The asymptotic behavior of the proposed algorithms is analyzed and sufficient conditions for their almost sure convergence are obtained.
