“…Today its applications are not restricted to a particular domain, and have diversified into robust optimization (Ben-Tal et al, 2009;Bertsimas et al, 2010), mathematical physics, geometry (Hettich & Kortanek, 1993), and statistics (Dall'Aglio, 2001) to name a few. SIPs have also found applications in manufacturing engineering where the design of optimal layouts of the assembly lines under uncertainties is important (Weber, 2003;Li & Wang, 1997). In finance SIPs have found applications in various domains, particularly in risk-aware and portfolio optimization (Werner, 2010).…”
