Robust Linear Optimization With Recourse
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an approach to linear optimization with recourse that does not involve a probabilistic description of the uncertainty, and allows the decision-maker to adjust the degree of robustness of the model while preserving its linear properties. We model random variables as uncertain parameters belonging to a polyhedral uncertainty set and minimize the sum of the first-stage costs and the worst-case second-stage costs over that set. The decision-maker’s conservatism is taken into account through a budget of uncertainty, which determines the size of the uncertainty set around the nominal values of the random variables. We establish that the robust problem is a linear programming problem with a potentially very large number of constraints, and describe how a cutting place algorithm can be used for the robust problem. Furthermore, in the case of simple recourse, we show that the robust problem can be formulated as a series of m linear programming problems of size similar to the original deterministic problem, where m is the number of random variables. Numerical results are encouraging.

Tractable Distributionally Robust Optimization with Data
We present a unified and tractable framework for distributionally robust optimization that could encompass a variety of statistical information including, among others things, constraints on expectation, conditional expectation, and disjoint confidence sets with uncertain probabilities defined by φ-divergence. In particular, we also show that the Wasserstein-based ambiguity set has an equivalen...
متن کاملA Polynomial-Time Solution Scheme for Quadratic Stochastic Programs
We consider quadratic stochastic programs with random recourse — a class of problems which is perceived to be computationally demanding. Instead of using mainstream scenario tree-based techniques, we reduce computational complexity by restricting the space of recourse decisions to those linear and quadratic in the observations, thereby obtaining an upper bound on the original problem. To estima...
متن کاملUncertain Linear Programs: Extended Affinely Adjustable Robust Counterparts
In this paper, we introduce the extended affinely adjustable robust counterpart to modeling and solving multistage uncertain linear programs with fixed recourse. Our approach first reparameterizes the primitive uncertainties and then applies the affinely adjustable robust counterpart proposed in the literature, in which recourse decisions are restricted to be linear in terms of the primitive un...
متن کاملConic Programming Reformulations of Two-Stage Distributionally Robust Linear Programs over Wasserstein Balls
Adaptive robust optimization problems are usually solved approximately by restricting the adaptive decisions to simple parametric decision rules. However, the corresponding approximation error can be substantial. In this paper we show that two-stage robust and distributionally robust linear programs can often be reformulated exactly as conic programs that scale polynomially with the problem dim...
متن کاملRobust location transportation problems under uncertain demands
In robust optimization, the multi-stage context (or dynamic decision-making) assumes that the information is revealed in stages. So, part of the decisions must be taken before knowing the real values of the uncertain parameters, and another part, called recourse decisions, is taken when the information is known. In this paper, we are interested in a robust version of the location transportation...
