Sample average approximation method for stochastic complementarity problems with applications to supply chain supernetworks. (English) Zbl 1225.90138

Summary: We consider a class of stochastic nonlinear complementarity problems. We propose a new reformulation of the stochastic complementarity problem, that is, a two-stage stochastic mathematical programming model reformulation. Based on this reformulation, we propose a smoothing-based sample average approximation method for stochastic complementarity problem and prove its convergence. As an application, a supply chain super-network equilibrium is modeled as a stochastic nonlinear complementarity problem and numerical results on the problem are reported.
