Pareto Adaptive Robust Optimality via a Fourier–Motzkin Elimination lens by Bertsimas, Dimitris, ten Eikelder, Stefan C. M., den Hertog, Dick, Trichakis, Nikolaos

“…We formalize the concept of Pareto Adaptive Robust Optimality (PARO) for linear two-stage Adaptive Robust Optimization (ARO) problems, with fixed continuous recourse. A worst-case optimal solution pair of here-and-now decisions and wait-and-see decisions is PARO if it cannot be Pareto dominated by another solution, i.e., there does not exist another worst-case optimal pair that performs at least as good in all scenarios in the uncertainty set and strictly better in at least one scenario. …”

“…The predominant theme was that informed consent required fully transparent communication with potential participants regarding what their participation would involve, how it would impact their lives, and both the expected outcome and ‘worst-case scenario’. They also offered actionable recommendations on how best to communicate the tension between the expected outcome and the ‘worst-case scenario’ of disease associated with delayed diagnosis and comorbidity, as typically portrayed by the media. …”

Budget feasible mechanism design : from prior-free to Bayesian by Bei, Xiaohui, Chen, Ning, Gravin, Nick, Lu, Pinyan

“…We provide a mechanism for subadditive functions whose approximation is O(I), via the worst case integrality gap I of this LP. This implies an O(log n)-approximation for subadditive valuations, O(1)-approximation for XOS valuations, as well as for valuations having a constant integrality gap. …”
