Abstract: In this thesis, we compare computationally four methods for solving optimization problems under uncertainty: * Robust Optimization (RO) * Adaptive Robust Optimization (ARO) * Data Driven Optimization (DDO) * stochastic Programming (SP) We have implemented several computation experiments to demonstrate the different performance of these methods. We conclude that ARO outperform RO, which has a comparable performance with DDO. SP has a comparable performance with RO when the assumed distribution is the same as the true underlying distribution, but under performs RO when the assumed distribution is different from the true distribution.
