报告内容简介:

In this work, we investigate a broad class of facility location problems in the context of adaptive robust stochastic optimization. A state-wise ambiguity set is employed to model the distributional uncertainty associated with the demand in different states, where the conditional distributional characteristics in each state are described by support, mean as well as dispersion measures, which are conic representable. A robust sensitivity analysis is performed in which on the one hand we analyze the impact of the change in ambiguity set parameters ({e.g.}, state probabilities, mean value abounds and dispersion bounds in different states) onto the optimal worst-case expected total cost using the ambiguity dual variables. On the other hand, we analyze the impact of the change in location design onto the worst-case expected second-stage cost, and show that the sensitivity bounds are fully described as the worst-case expected shadow capacity cost. As for the solution approach, we propose a nested Benders decomposition algorithm for solving the model exactly, which leverages the subgradients of the worst-case expected second-stage cost at the location decisions formed insightfully by the associated worst-case distributions. The nested Benders decomposition approach ensures a finite-step convergence, which can also be regarded as an extension of the classic $L$-shaped algorithm for two-stage stochastic programming to our state-wise robust stochastic facility location problem with conic representable ambiguity. Finally, the results of a series of numerical experiments are presented which justify the value of the state-wise distributional information incorporated in our robust stochastic facility location model, the robustness of the model and the performance of the exact solution approach.
