Title: On Network Design with Stochastic Arc Capacities.
Speaker: Avinash Bhardwaj, UC Berkeley

Time and date: 3:00 pm, Friday Jan 17 2014
Venue: Room 217, Mechanical Engineering

Abstract:
In this work, we present robust models to determine minimum cost network setup(s) while considering
a fixed charge network flow problem with particular attention to the stochastic nature of the arc
capacities. We study the associated submodular knapsack constraint set and derive strong valid
