چکیده
Abstract We propose a general solution approach for min-max-robust counterparts of combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain linear objectives. focus on the discrete scenario case, but our can be extended to other types uncertainty sets such as polytopes or ellipsoids. Concerning underlying certain problem, algorithm is entirely oracle-based, i.e., only requires (primal) solving problem. It thus particularly useful in case problem well-studied its structure cannot directly exploited tailored robust approach, situations where defined implicitly by given software. The idea solve convex relaxation simplicial decomposition main challenge being non-differentiability objective function polytopal uncertainty. resulting dual bounds are then used within branch-and-bound framework optimality. By computational evaluation, we show that method outperforms straightforward linearization approaches minimum spanning tree Moreover, using Concorde solver oracle, computes much better traveling salesman same amount time.

An Optimization Framework for Combining the Petroleum Replenishment Problem with the Optimal Bidding in Combinatorial Auctions
We address in this paper a periodic petroleum station replenishment problem (PPSRP) that aims to plan the delivery of petroleum products to a set of geographically dispatched stations. It is assumed that each station is characterized by its weekly demand and by its frequency of service. The main objective of the delivery process is to minimize the total travelled distance by the vailable trucks...
متن کاملOracle-Based Robust Optimization via Online Learning
Robust optimization is a common framework in optimization under uncertainty when the problem parameters are not known, but it is rather known that the parameters belong to some given uncertainty set. In the robust optimization framework the problem solved is a min-max problem where a solution is judged according to its performance on the worst possible realization of the parameters. In many cas...

متن کاملRecoverable robust combinatorial optimization problems.dvi
This paper deals with two Recoverable Robust (RR) models for combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain costs. These models were originally proposed by Büsing (2012) for the shortest path problem with uncertain costs. In this paper, we generalize the RR models to a class of combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain costs and provide new positive and negative complexity results ...
متن کاملAn Improved Time-Sensitive Metaheuristic Framework for Combinatorial Optimization
We introduce a metaheuristic framework for combinatorial optimization. Our framework is similar to others (e.g. [1]) in that it is modular enough that important components can be independently developed. Ours is different in several aspects. It supports several built-in components such as combinatorial representations and search heuristics to facilitate the creation of a new optimizer for a wid...
