Robust Truss Topology Design via Semidefinite Programming
Aharon Ben-Tal,Arkadi Nemirovski +1 more
TL;DR: A new model of the truss topology design problem is presented, where the rigidity of the resulting truss with respect both to given loading scenarios and small "occasional" loads is optimized.

Robust Solutions of Optimization Problems Affected by Uncertain Probabilities
TL;DR: In this paper, robust linear optimization problems with uncertainty regions defined by o-divergences (for example, chi-squared, Hellinger, Kullback-Leibler) are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Polyhedral Approximations of the Second-Order Cone
Aharon Ben-Tal,Arkadi Nemirovski +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a conic quadratic problem, is "polynomially reducible" to Linear Programming, by constructing, for every, an LP program with the following properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selected topics in robust convex optimization
Aharon Ben-Tal,Arkadi Nemirovski +1 more
TL;DR: This paper overviews several selected topics in this popular area, specifically, recent extensions of the basic concept of robust counterpart of an optimization problem with uncertain data, tractability of robust counterparts, links between RO and traditional chance constrained settings of problems with stochastic data, and a novel generic application of the RO methodology in Robust Linear Control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retailer-Supplier Flexible Commitments Contracts: A Robust Optimization Approach
TL;DR: This work studies a two-echelon multiperiod supply chain problem, known as the retailer-supplier flexible commitment (RSFC) problem with uncertain demand that is only known to reside in some uncertainty set and adopts a min-max criterion.
