A variety of approaches has been developed to deal with uncertain optimization problems. Often, they start with a given set of uncertainties and then try to minimize the influence of these uncertainties. The reverse view is to first set a budget for the price one is willing to pay and then find...

In multi-criteria optimization problems that originate from real-world decision making tasks, we often find the following structure: There is an underlying continuous, possibly even convex model for the multiple outcome measures depending on the design variables, but these outcomes are...

We consider adjustable robust linear complementarity problems and extend the results of Biefel et al. (SIAM J Optim 32:152–172, 2022) towards convex and compact uncertainty sets. Moreover, for the case of polyhedral uncertainty sets, we prove that computing an adjustable robust solution of a...

We investigate a challenging task in ambulatory care, the minimizing of delays of patient transports. In practice, a limited number of vehicles is available for non-rescue transports. Furthermore, the dispatcher rarely has access to complete information when establishing a transport plan for...

One of the main challenges of food bank warehouses in developing countries is to determine how to allocate perishable products to beneficiary agencies with different expiry dates while ensuring food safety, meeting nutritional requirements, and minimizing the shortage. The contribution of this...

Recursively identified vector autoregressive (VAR) models often lead to a counterintuitive response of prices (and output) shortly after a monetary policy shock. To overcome this problem, we propose to estimate the VAR parameters under the restriction that economic theory is not violated, while...
