One way to solve it is to discretize the distribution functions of the random demands. This will considerably increase the number of variables and will involved discretization errors. Instead of doing this, we describe a method which alternates between solving some n-dimensional linear subprograms and some m-dimensional convex subprograms, where n is the dimension of the decision vector and m is the dimension of the random demand vector. In many cases, m is relatively small. This method converges in finitely many steps. date: 2009 date_type: published publisher: Springer id_number: doi:10.1007/BFb0121120 creators_browse_id: 2310 creators_browse_id: 2512 full_text_status: none series: Mathematical Programming Study volume: 27 pagerange: 183-190 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-642-00924-2 issn: 0303-3929 book_title: Stochastic Programming 84 Part I editors_name: Prekopa, A. editors_name: Wets, R. editors_id: AL1370 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart citation: Qi, L.
