the paper discusses the location-allocation model for logistic networks and distribution centers through considering uncertain parameters. in real-world cases, demands and transshipment costs change over the period of the time. this may lead to large cost deviation in total cost. scenario based robust optimization approaches are proposed where occurrence probability of each scenario is not know...

In this paper, we will discuss the use of new methods from robust control and especially H°° theory for the explicit construction optimal feedback compensators for several practical distributed parameter systems. Indeed, based on operator and interpolation theoretic methods one can now solve the standard H control problem for a broad class of systems modelled by PDEs. In our approach, the compl...

there are many real problems in which multiple responses should be optimized simultaneously by setting of process variables. one of the common approaches for optimization of multi-response problems is desirability function. in most real cases, there is a correlation structure between responses so ignoring the correlation may lead to mistake results. hence, in this paper a robust approach based ...

The robust optimization methodology that we have introduced so far is built on a fundamental modeling approach, based set-theoretic, deterministic uncertainty models.
