Abstract

In this paper, we consider the stochastic mathematical programs with linear complementarity constraints, which include two kinds of models called here-and-now and lower-level wait-and-see problems. We present a combined smoothing implicit programming and penalty method for the problems with a finite sample space. Then, we suggest a quasi-Monte Carlo approximation method for solving a problem with continuous random variables. A comprehensive convergence theory is included as well. We further report numerical results with the so-called picnic vender decision problem.
