    Multistage mixed-integer distributionally robust optimization (DRO) forms a class of extremely challenging problems since their size grows exponentially with the number of stages. One way to model the uncertainty in multistage DRO is by creating sets of conditional distributions (the so-called conditional ambiguity sets) on a finite scenario tree and requiring that such distributions remain … Read more

    Many dynamic decision problems involving uncertainty can be appropriately modeled as multi-stage stochastic programs. However, most practical instances are so large and/or complex that it is impossible to solve them on a single computer, especially due to memory limitations. Extending the work of Sandikci et al. (2013) on two-stage stochastic mixed-integer-programs (SMIPs), this paper develops … Read more
