The approach is then applied to multistage stochastic programming problems in two different ways: by decomposing the problem into scenarios or decomposing it into nodes corresponding to stages. In both cases the method has favorable convergence properties and a structure which makes it convenient for parallel computing environments.}, author = {Ruszczynski, A.} }
