Recoverable Robust Cardinality Constrained Maximization with Commitment of a Submodular Function

We consider a game-theoretic variant of maximizing a monotone increasing, submodular function under a cardinality constraint. Initially, a solution to this classical problem is determined. Subsequently, a predetermined number of elements from the ground set, not necessarily contained in the initial solution, are deleted, potentially reducing the solution’s cardinality. If any deleted elements were part … Read more

Recoverable Robust Knapsacks: $\GammahBcScenarios

In this paper, we investigate the recoverable robust knapsack problem, where the uncertainty of the item weights follows the approach of Bertsimas and Sim (2003,2004). In contrast to the robust approach, a limited recovery action is allowed, i.e., upto k items may be removed when the actual weights are known. This problem is motivated by … Read more
