    Subdifferential characterization of probability functions under Gaussian distribution
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Hantoute, Abderrahim; Henrion, René; Pérez-Aros, Pedro
    Probability functions figure prominently in optimization problems of engineering. They may be nonsmooth even if all input data are smooth. This fact motivates the consideration of subdifferentials for such typically just continuous functions. The aim of this paper is to provide subdifferential formulae of such functions in the case of Gaussian distributions for possibly infinite-dimensional decision variables and nonsmooth (locally Lipschitzian) input data. These formulae are based on the spheric-radial decomposition of Gaussian random vectors on the one hand and on a cone of directions of moderate growth on the other. By successively adding additional hypotheses, conditions are satisfied under which the probability function is locally Lipschitzian or even differentiable.

    (Sub-) Gradient formulae for probability functions of random inequality systems under Gaussian distribution
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Ackooij, Wim van; Henrion, René
    We consider probability functions of parameter-dependent random inequality systems under Gaussian distribution. As a main result, we provide an upper estimate for the Clarke subdifferential of such probability functions without imposing compactness conditions. A constraint qualification ensuring continuous differentiability is formulated. Explicit formulae are derived from the general result in case of linear random inequality systems. In the case of a constant coefficient matrix an upper estimate for even the smaller Mordukhovich subdifferential is proven.
