This book deals with decision making in environments of significant data un certainty, with particular emphasis on operations and production management applications. For such environments, we suggest the use of the robustness ap proach to decision making, which assumes inadequate knowledge of the decision maker about the random state of nature and develops a decision that hedges against the worst contingency that may arise. The main motivating factors for a decision maker to use the robustness approach are: • It does not ignore uncertainty and takes a proactive step in response to the fact that forecasted values of uncertain parameters ...

Reviews for Robust Discrete Optimization and Its Applications
`....I recommend the book, which in large parts is easy to read, as a consistent and interesting entry into the field of robust optimization.' OR Spektrum, 20:278 (1998)
