Here we consider a particular class of stochastic geometric programs in which the randomness occurs in the decision variables. Specifically we analyse a program in which we specify a joint normal probability for the dicision variables and require the constraint set to be satisfied in the chance constrained mode. A numerical example is given to illustrate the approach.
