Written by the principal developers of robust optimization, and describing the main achievements of a decade of research, this is the first book to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the subject. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Robust optimization is designed to meet some major challenges associated with uncertainty-affected optimization problems: to operate under lack of full information on the nature of uncertainty; to model the problem in a form that can be solved efficiently; and to provide guarantees about the performance of the solution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book starts with a relatively simple treatment of uncertain linear programming, proceeding with a deep analysis of the interconnections between the construction of appropriate uncertainty sets and the classical chance constraints (probabilistic) approach. It then develops the robust optimization theory for uncertain conic quadratic and semidefinite optimization problems and dynamic (multistage) problems. The theory is supported by numerous examples and computational illustrations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An essential book for anyone working on optimization and decision making under uncertainty, \u003ci\u003eRobust Optimization\u003c\/i\u003e also makes an ideal graduate textbook on the subject.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAharon Ben-Tal\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of operations research at the Technion, Israel Institute for Technology. \u003cb\u003eLaurent El Ghaoui\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of electrical engineering and operations research at the University of California, Berkeley. \u003cb\u003eArkadi Nemirovski\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of industrial and systems engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 576\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 10 x 7.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 30, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47201234714873,"sku":"9780691143682","price":196.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/dlBkRDhONEk3bm9sVVAzc2thM3gwQT09.webp?v=1767982295","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/robust-optimization-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
