Abstract

For robust combinatorial optimization, a central problem ingredient that decides the problem complexity is the type of uncertainty set. Previous research has already discovered modifications to the uncertainty set as a path to derive approximation results by replacing high-cardinality discrete uncertainty sets by low-cardinality sets. In this talk, I discuss possibilities to replace one type of uncertainty set by another type of uncertainty set, including computational challenges of this approach.
