On minimax solutions of stochastic linear programming problems
In applications of stochastic programming, optimization of the expected outcome need not be an acceptable goal. This has been the reason for recent proposals aiming at construction and optimization of more complicated nonlinear risk objectives. We will survey various approaches to risk quantification and optimization mainly in the framework of static and two-stage stochastic programs and comment on their properties. It turns out that polyhedral risk functionals introduced in Eichorn and Römisch...
In applications of geometric programming, some coefficients and/or exponents may not be precisely known. Stochastic geometric programming can be used to deal with such situations. In this paper, we shall indicate which stochastic programming approaches and which structural and distributional assumptions do not destroy the favorable structure of geometric programs. The already recognized possibilities are extended for a tracking model and stochastic sensitivity analysis is presented in the context...
