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. …”

Development of an integrated scheduling model for handling equipment in automated port container terminals by Sadeghian, Syed Hamidreza

“…In addition, results proved that the modified meta-heuristic algorithm is able to find near optimal solutions and on average, the solutions found by the GA algorithm are only 0.2% worse than the optimal solutions and in the worst case in the test cases this difference is 2.3% which is acceptable. …”

Reasons and reproduction: gene editing and genetic selection by McMahan, J, Savulescu, J

“…We argue that one reason to use gene editing is that in many cases it would be <i>better</i> for the person who would develop from the edited embryo, so that not to have done it would have been <i>worse for</i> that person. By contrast, embryo selection is never better for the person who develops from the selected embryo. …”
