Abstract: | In this paper, we study discrete optimization problems with min-max objective functions. This type of problems has direct applications in the recent development of robust optimization. The following well-known classes of problems are discussed: minimum spanning tree problem, resource allocation problem with separable cost functions, and production control problem. Computational complexities of the corresponding min-max version of the above-mentioned problems are analyzed. Pseudopolynomial algorithms for these problems are provided under certain conditions. |
