چکیده

Robust Optimization is a rapidly developing methodology for handling optimization problems affected by non-stochastic “uncertain-butbounded” data perturbations. In this paper, we overview several selected topics in this popular area, specifically, (1) recent extensions of the basic concept of robust counterpart of an optimization problem with uncertain data, (2) tractability of robust counterparts, (3) links between RO and traditional chance constrained settings of problems with stochastic data, and (4) a novel generic application of the RO methodology in Robust Linear Control.

A Convex Optimization Approach for Solving the Robust Strictly Positive Real (spr) Problem

In system identification and adaptive control, the problem of designing strictly positive real (SPR) transfer functions in the presence of uncertain adaptation parameters is essential for stability and convergence in a group of parameter adaptation algorithms. This paper proposes a convex optimization approach to address the robust SPR problem. Besides achieving the robust SPR condition, the pr...

Stock Evaluation under Mixed Uncertainties Using Robust DEA Model

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of the popular and applicable techniques for assessing and ranking the stocks or other financial assets. It should be noted that in the financial markets, most of the times, the inputs and outputs of DEA models are accompanied by uncertainty. Accordingly, in this paper, a novel Robust Data Envelopment Analysis (RDEA) model, which is capable to be used in t...

Measuring robust overall profit efficiency with uncertainty in input and output price vectors

The classic overall profit needs precise information of inputs, outputs, inputs and outputs price vectors. In real word, all data are not certain. Therefore, in this case, stochastic and fuzzy methods use for measuring overall profit efficiency. These methods require more information about the data such as probability distribution function or data membership function, which in some cases may no...
