Robust solutions of Linear Programming problems contaminated with uncertain data

چکیده
Optimal solutions of Linear Programming problems may become severely infeasible if the nominal data is slightly perturbed. We demonstrate this phenomenon by studying 90 LPs from the well-known NETLIB collection. We then apply the Robust Optimization methodology (Ben-Tal and Nemirovski [1-3]; El Ghaoui et al. [5,6]) to produce “robust” solutions of the above LPs which are in a sense immuned against uncertainty. Surprisingly, for the NETLIB problems these robust solutions nearly lose nothing in optimality.

Primal and dual robust counterparts of uncertain linear programs: an application to portfolio selection
This paper proposes a family of robust counterpart for uncertain linear programs (LP) which is obtained for a general definition of the uncertainty region. The relationship between uncertainty sets using norm bod-ies and their corresponding robust counterparts defined by dual norms is presented. Those properties lead us to characterize primal and dual robust counterparts. The researchers show t...
متن کاملSome Duality Results in Grey Linear Programming Problem
Different approaches are presented to address the uncertainty of data and appropriate description of uncertain parameters of linear programming models. One of them is to use the grey systems theory in modeling such problem. Especially, recently, grey linear programming has attracted many researchers. In this paper, a kind of linear programming with grey coefficients is discussed. Introducing th...
متن کاملRobust Quadratic Assignment Problem with Uncertain Locations
We consider a generalization of the classical quadratic assignment problem, where coordinates of locations are uncertain and only upper and lower bounds are known for each coordinate. We develop a mixed integer linear programming model as a robust counterpart of the proposed uncertain model. A key challenge is that, since the uncertain model involves nonlinear objective function of the ...
متن کاملRobust solutions of uncertain mixed-integer linear programs using decomposition techniques
Robust optimization is a framework for modeling optimization problems involving data uncertainty and during the last decades has been an area of active research. If we focus on linear programming (LP) problems with i) uncertain data, ii) binary decisions and iii) hard constraints within an ellipsoidal uncertainty set, this paper provides a different interpretation of their robust counterpart (R...
متن کاملRobust solutions of uncertain linear programs
We treat in this paper Linear Programming (LP) problems with uncertain data. The focus is on uncertainty associated with hard constraints: those which must be satisfied, whatever is the actual realization of the data (within a prescribed uncertainty set). We suggest a modeling methodology whereas an uncertain LP is replaced by its Robust Counterpart (RC). We then develop the analytical and comp...
