Abstract

The robustness analysis investigates the optimality of a solution in a linear programming problem that contains uncertainties. Conventionally, researchers concentrated on the one with a fixed feasible set, while in this paper, we focus on an inexact one. Since an inexact feasible set usually makes a solution infeasible in some situations, we consider it a penalty for the objective function. To accomplish it, we utilise the minimax criterion and propose an updated programming problem, which has an objective function that includes a weighted Lp-norm to represent the penalty. For the application, we only consider L1-norm (absolute-value norm) and L2-norm (Euclidean norm). We show that for the L1-norm, an approach based on linear programming can treat it with low computational complexity. In contrast, we show that an approach based on derivative can treat the case of L2-norm. Finally, we compare our approach with conventional fuzzy linear programming for the merit and drawback of our approach.
