We derive a nested risk measure for a maximization problem and implement it in a scenario-
based formulation of a multi-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming problem. We apply …

This paper presents strong scenario dominance cuts for effectively solving the multi-stage
stochastic mixed-integer programs (M-SMIPs), specifically focusing on the two most well …

Health service networks play a key role in ensuring the health of society. Disruptive and
