Abstract

We improve the well-known result presented in Bertsimas and Sim (Math Program B98:49–71, 2003) regarding the computation of optimal solutions of Robust Combinatorial Optimization problems with interval uncertainty in the objective function coefficients. We also extend this improvement to a more general class of Combinatorial Optimization problems with interval uncertainty.
