network facing uncertain demand over multiple periods. We consider a multi‐period fixed …

Solving two-stage robust optimization problems using a column-and-constraint generation method

B Zeng, L Zhao - Operations Research Letters, 2013 - Elsevier
In this paper, we present a column-and-constraint generation algorithm to solve two-stage
robust optimization problems. Compared with existing Benders-style cutting plane methods …

Applying robust optimization to the shelter location–allocation problem: a case study for Istanbul

L Eriskin, M Karatas - Annals of Operations Research, 2024 - Springer
In this study, we consider the shelter location and allocation problem under demand
uncertainty. In particular, we seek to improve the disaster preparedness level of Turkey by …

Robust optimization for a maritime inventory routing problem

A Agra, M Christiansen, LM Hvattum… - Transportation …, 2018 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider a single product maritime inventory routing problem in which the production

Robust empty container repositioning considering foldable containers

S Lee, I Moon - European Journal of Operational Research, 2020 - Elsevier
Because of the extreme imbalance in intercontinental trade, the repositioning of empty
containers creates a significant problem for shipping companies. There are many efforts to …

Closed-form solutions for robust inventory management

H Mamani, S Nassiri, MR Wagner - Management Science, 2017 - pubsonline.informs.org
We propose and analyze robust optimization models of an inventory management problem,
where cumulative purchase, inventory, and shortage costs over n periods are minimized for …
