Continuity of parametric mixed-integer quadratic programs and its application to stability analysis of two-stage quadratic stochastic programs with mixed-integer recourse

Abstract

For mixed-integer quadratic program where all coefficients in the objective function and the right-hand sides of constraints vary simultaneously, we show locally Lipschitz continuity of its optimal value function, and derive the corresponding global estimation; furthermore, we also obtain quantitative estimation about the change of its optimal solutions. Applying these results to two-stage quadratic stochastic program with mixed-integer recourse, we establish quantitative stability of the optimal value function and the optimal solution set with respect to the Fortet-Mourier probability metric, when the underlying probability distribution is perturbed. The obtained results generalize available results on continuity properties of mixed-integer quadratic programs and extend current results on quantitative stability of two-stage quadratic stochastic programs with mixed-integer recourse.
