Decomposition approaches for recoverable robust optimization problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Real-life planning problems are often complicated by the occurrence of disturbances, which imply that the original plan cannot be followed anymore and some recovery action must be taken to cope with the disturbance. In such a situation it is worthwhile to arm yourself against possible disturbances by including recourse actions in your planning strategy. Well-known approaches to create plans that take possible, common disturbances into account are robust optimization and stochastic programming. More recently, another approach has been developed that combines the best of these two: recoverable robustness. In this paper, we solve recoverable robust optimization problems by the technique of column generation. We consider two types of decomposition approaches: separate recovery and combined recovery. We investigate our approach for two example problems: the size robust knapsack problem, in which the knapsack size may get reduced, and the demand robust shortest path problem, in which the sink is uncertain and the cost of edges may increase. For each problem, we present elaborate computational experiments. We think that our approach is very promising and can be generalized to many other problems.

The Recoverable Robust Tail Assignment Problem
Schedule disruptions are commonplace in the airline industry with many flight-delaying events occurring each day. Recently there has been a focus on introducing robustness into airline planning stages to reduce the effect of these disruptions. We propose a recoverable robustness technique as an alternative to robust optimisation to reduce the effect of disruptions and the cost of recovery. We f...

In this paper, a green transportation location problem is considered with uncertain demand parameter. Increasing robustness influences the number of trucks for sending goods and products, caused consequently, increase the air pollution. In this paper, two green approaches are introduced which demand is the main uncertain parameter in both. These approaches are addressed to provide a trade-off b...

متن کاملRecoverable robust combinatorial optimization problems.dvi
This paper deals with two Recoverable Robust (RR) models for combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain costs. These models were originally proposed by Büsing (2012) for the shortest path problem with uncertain costs. In this paper, we generalize the RR models to a class of combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain costs and provide new positive and negative complexity results ...
متن کاملRecoverable robust shortest path problems
Recoverable robustness is a concept to avoid over-conservatism in robust optimization by allowing a limited recovery after the full data is revealed. We investigate two settings of recoverable robust shortest path problems. In both settings the costs of the arcs are subject to uncertainty. For the first setting, at most k arcs of the chosen path can be altered in the recovery. In the second set...
