Approximation Algorithms for 2-Stage Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. Stochastic optimization is a leading approach to model optimization problems in which there is uncertainty in the input data, whether from measurement noise or an inabili...

Stochastic Optimization is (Almost) as easy as Deterministic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...

Approximation in Preemptive Stochastic Online Scheduling
Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...

Solving Two-Stage Stochastic Steiner Tree Problems by Two-Stage Branch-and-Cut
Abstract. We consider the Steiner tree problem under a 2-stage stochastic model with recourse and finitely many scenarios (SSTP). Thereby, edges are purchased in the first stage wh...
