Robust Simulation of Global Warming Policies Using the DICE Model
Hu, Zhaolin; Cao, Jing; Hong, L. Jeff - In: Management Science 58 (2012) 12, pp. 2190-2206
Integrated assessment models that combine geophysics and economics features are often used to evaluate and compare global warming policies. Because there are typically profound uncertainties in these models, a simulation approach is often used. This approach requires the distribution of the...

Robust Storage Assignment in Unit-Load Warehouses
Ang, Marcus; Lim, Yun Fong; Sim, Melvyn - In: Management Science 58 (2012) 11, pp. 2114-2130
Assigning products to and retrieving them from proper storage locations are crucial decisions in minimizing the operating cost of a unit-load warehouse. The problem becomes intractable when the warehouse faces variable supply and uncertain demand in a multiperiod setting. We assume a...

On the Efficiency-Fairness Trade-off
Bertsimas, Dimitris; Farias, Vivek F.; Trichakis, Nikolaos - In: Management Science 58 (2012) 12, pp. 2234-2250
This paper deals with a basic issue: How does one approach the problem of designing the "right" objective for a given resource allocation problem? The notion of what is right can be fairly nebulous; we consider two issues that we see as key: efficiency and fairness. We approach the problem of...

A Two-Step Infinite α-Cuts Fuzzy Linear Programming Method in Determination of Optimal Allocation Strategies in Agricultural Irrigation Systems
Lu, H.; Huang, G.; Lin, Y.; He, L. - In: Water Resources Management 23 (2009) 11, pp. 2249-2269
A two-step infinite α-cuts fuzzy linear programming (TSIFP) method is developed in this study. The introduction of … infinite α-cuts to conventional fuzzy linear programming frameworks makes it possible to generate more reliable optimal results … than conventional fuzzy linear programming, where finite α-cuts were assumed to be sufficient in representing all fuzzy …

Robust facility location
Carrizosa, Emilio; Nickel, Stefan - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 58 (2003) 2, pp. 331-349
Let A be a nonempty finite subset of the plane representing the geographical coordinates of a set of demand points (towns, …), to be served by a facility, whose location within a given region S is sought. Assuming that the unit cost for a∈A if the facility is located at x∈S is proportional...
