In this paper, we propose new sequential randomized algorithms for convex
optimization problems in the presence of uncertainty. A rigorous analysis of
the theoretical properties of the solutions obtained by these algorithms, for
full constraint satisfaction and partial constraint satisfaction, respectively,
is given. The proposed methods allow to enlarge the applicability of the
existing randomized methods to real-world applications involving a large number
of design variables. Since the proposed approach does not provide a priori
bounds on the sample complexity, extensive numerical simulations, dealing with
an application to hard-disk drive servo design, are provided. These simulations
testify the goodness of the proposed solution.Comment: 18 pages, Submitted for publication to IEEE Transactions on Automatic
