| contents | Fluid models provide a tractable approach to approximate multiclass processing networks. This tractability is a due to the fact that optimal control for such models is a solution of a Separated Continuous Linear Programming (SCLP) problem. Recently developed revised SCLP-simplex algorithm allows to exactly solve very large instances of SCLPs in a reasonable time. Furthermore, to deal with the inherent stochasticity in arrival and service rates in processing networks, robust optimization approach is applied to SCLP models. However, a robust counterpart of SCLP problem has two important drawbacks limiting its tractability. First, the robust counterpart of SCLP problem is a huge SCLP problem itself, that can be in several orders of magnitude bigger then the nominal SCLP problem. Second, robust counterpart of SCLP is a degenerate optimization problem, that is not suitable for revised SCLP-simplex algorithm. In this paper we develop theoretical results and a corresponding algorithm that allows to preserve dimensions of nominal SCLP problem and avoid degeneracy issues during solution of its robust counterpart. |
