Strong relaxations are critical for solving deterministic mixed-integer programs. As solving stochastic mixed-integer programs (SMIPs) is even harder, it is likely that strong relaxations will also prove essential for SMIPs. We consider general two-stage SMIPs with recourse, where integer...

In the United States, end-stage liver disease patients join a waiting list and then make accept/reject decisions for transplantation as deceased-donor organs are offered to them over time. These decisions are largely influenced by the patient’s prospect for future offers, which can be...
