Robust optimization is a methodology that can be applied to problems that are affected by uncertainty in the problem's parameters. The classical robust counterpart (RC) of the problem requires the solution to be feasible for all uncertain parameter values in a so-called uncertainty set, and...

We propose a new way to derive tractable robust counterparts of a linear conic optimization problem by using the theory of Beck and Ben-Tal on the duality between the robust (“pessimistic”) primal problem and its “optimistic” dual. First, we obtain a new convex reformulation of the dual...

Adjustable robust optimization (ARO) is a technique to solve dynamic (multistage) optimization problems. In ARO, the decision in each stage is a function of the information accumulated from the previous periods on the values of the uncertain parameters. This information, however, is often...
