An interval-parameter two-stage stochastic integer programming model for environmental systems planning under uncertainty

An interval-parameter two-stage stochastic mixed integer programming (ITMILP) technique is developed for waste management under uncertainty. It is a hybrid of inexact two-stage stochastic programming and mixed integer linear programming methods. The ITMILP method can directly handle uncertainties expressed not only as probability density functions but also as discrete intervals. It can be used to analyse various policy scenarios that are …
