@article{Goerigk2022BenchmarkingPF, title={Benchmarking Problems for Robust Discrete Optimization}, author={Marc Goerigk and Mohammad Khosravi}, journal={ArXiv}, year={2022}, volume={abs/2201.04985} }
Robust discrete optimization is a highly active field of research where a plenitude of combinations between decision criteria, uncertainty sets and underlying nominal problems are considered. Usually, a robust problem becomes harder to solve than its nominal counterpart, even if it remains in the same complexity class. For this reason, specialized solution algorithms have been developed. To further drive the development of stronger solution algorithms and to facilitate the comparison between…

Mixed uncertainty sets for robust combinatorial optimization
- Computer ScienceOptimization Letters

This paper proposes an approach to go beyond the classic setting, by assuming multiple uncertainty sets to be prepared, each with a weight showing the degree of belief that the set is a “true” model of uncertainty, and shows that it is as easy to model as theclassic setting.
A Lagrangian dual method for two-stage robust optimization with binary uncertainties

This paper presents a new exact method to calculate worst-case parameter realizations in two-stage robust optimization problems with categorical or binary-valued uncertain data and proposes an alternative Lagrangian dual method that circumvents these difficulties and is readily integrated in either algorithm.
