Abstract

In this work we describe a good approach to solve chance-constrained programming with mixed-integer variables. We replace a hard chance constrained function by a copula. We prove that Zhang’s copula family satisfies the proprieties request by outer-approximation and we use this algorithm to solve this problem with promising results.
