This is an updated version of what is still the only text to address basic questions about how to model uncertainty in mathematical programming, including how to reformulate a deterministic model so that it can be analyzed in a stochastic setting. This second edition has important extensions regarding how to represent random phenomena in the models (also called scenario generation) as well as a new chapter on multi-stage models.

Produktbeschreibung
This is an updated version of what is still the only text to address basic questions about how to model uncertainty in mathematical programming, including how to reformulate a deterministic model so that it can be analyzed in a stochastic setting. This second edition has important extensions regarding how to represent random phenomena in the models (also called scenario generation) as well as a new chapter on multi-stage models.

This text would be suitable as a stand-alone or supplement for a second course in OR/MS or in optimization-oriented engineering disciplines where the instructor wants to explain where models come from and what the fundamental modeling issues are.

The book is easy-to-read, highly illustrated with lots of examples and discussions. It will be suitable for graduate students and researchers working in operations research, mathematics, engineering and related departments where there is interest in learning how to model uncertainty.

Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"It is the first book that systematically tries to answer the questions about modeling under uncertainty ... . The book is written in a very readable style ... . An experienced researcher who is already familiar with optimization under uncertainty will benefit from reading this book ... ." (Laura Galli, Interfaces, Vol. 43 (5), September-October, 2013)

"The book is intended as a textbook for graduate students and researchers interested in decision making under uncertainty. It is expected that the book will also be suitable for teaching some operations research courses for undergraduates. ... this textbook can indeed be very useful for mathematics students as a methodological guide to the applications of stochastic programming methods. The structure of the textbook is well adapted to teaching purposes." (A. H. Zilinskas, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2013)
