A model of distributionally robust two-stage stochastic convex programming with linear recourse

摘要

We consider distributionally robust two-stage stochastic convex programming problems, in which the recourse problem is linear. Other than analyzing these new models case by case for different ambiguity sets, we adopt a unified form of ambiguity sets proposed by Wiesemann, Kuhn and Sim, and extend their analysis from a single stochastic constraint to the two-stage stochastic programming setting. It is shown that under a standard set of regularity conditions, this class of problems can be converted to a conic optimization problem. Numerical results are presented to show the efficiency of the distributionally robust approach.
