Abstract

The use of a stochastic dominance constraint to specify risk preferences in a stochastic program has been recently proposed in the literature. Such a constraint requires the random outcome resulting from one’s decision to stochastically dominate a given random comparator. These ideas have been extended to problems with multiple random outcomes, using the notion of positive linear stochastic dominance. This article proposes a constraint using a different version of multivariate stochastic dominance. This version is natural due to its connection to expected utility maximization theory and relatively tractable. In particular, it is shown that such a constraint can be formulated with linear constraints for the second-order dominance relation and with mixed-integer constraints for the first-order relation. This is in contrast with a constraint on second-order positive linear dominance, for which no efficient algorithms are known. The proposed formulations are tested in the context of two applications: budget allocation in a setting with multiple objectives and finding radiation treatment plans in the presence of organ motion.
