THE USE OF QUADRATIC PROGRAMMING IN STOCHASTIC LINEAR PROGRAMMING
Abstract
This paper presents a simple method of allowing for uncertainties in the constant terms (i.e. right hand sides) of a linear programming problem, and hence producing realistic 'safety margins' in the solution. This is done by fitting a mixture of uniform distributions to the assumed distributions of these right hand sides, and using a particular quadratic programming algorithm.
