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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aharon Ben-Tal, Laurent El Ghaoui, Arkadi Nemirovski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691143684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691143682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.20w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2009 pg. 40","brand":"Aharon Ben-Tal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43925614297343,"sku":"9780691143682","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_719cfc87-ca35-4a73-9e03-5a301e90b3e7.jpg?v=1681078316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/robust-optimization-aharon-ben-tal-9780691143682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
