| Popis: | Parametric optimization solves a family of optimization problems as a function of parameters. It is a critical component in situations where optimal decision making is repeatedly performed for updated parameter values, but computation becomes challenging when complex problems need to be solved in real-time. Therefore, in this study, we present theoretical foundations on approximating optimal policy of parametric optimization problem through Neural Networks and derive conditions that allow the Universal Approximation Theorem to be applied to parametric optimization problems by constructing piecewise linear policy approximation explicitly. This study fills the gap on formally analyzing the constructed piecewise linear approximation in terms of feasibility and optimality and show that Neural Networks (with ReLU activations) can be valid approximator for this approximation in terms of generalization and approximation error. Furthermore, based on theoretical results, we propose a strategy to improve feasibility of approximated solution and discuss training with suboptimal solutions.
