Abstract

Recent advances in cutting-plane strategies applied to robust optimization problems show that they are competitive with respect to problem reformulations and interior-point algorithms. However, although its application with polyhedral uncertainty sets guarantees convergence, finite termination when using ellipsoidal uncertainty sets is not theoretically guaranteed. This paper demonstrates that the cutting-plane algorithm set out for ellipsoidal uncertainty sets in its more general form also converges in a finite number of steps.
