A new continuous location model is presented and embedded in the literature on robustness in facility location. The multimodality of the model is investigated, and a branch and bound method based on dc optimization is described. Numerical experience is reported, showing that the developed method allows one to solve in a few seconds problems with … Read more
In this work, a regression problem is studied where the elements of the database are sets with certain geometrical properties. In particular, our model can be applied to handle data affected by some kind of noise or uncertainty and interval-valued data, and databases with missing values as well. The proposed formulation is based on the … Read more
The purpose of this note is to present a robust counterpart of the Huber estimation problem in the sense of Ben-Tal and Nemirovski when the data elements are subject to ellipsoidal uncertainty. The robust counterparts are polynomially solvable second-order cone programs with the strong duality property. We illustrate the effectiveness of the robust counterpart approach … Read more
