They describe decision situations under uncertainty and with a longer planning horizon. This book contains a comprehensive treatment of today?s state of the art in multistage stochastic optimization.  It covers the mathematical backgrounds of approximation theory as well as numerous practical algorithms and examples for the generation and handling of scenario trees. A special emphasis is put on estimation and bounding of the modeling error using novel distance concepts, on time consistency and the role of model ambiguity in the decision process. An extensive treatment of examples from electricity production, asset liability management and inventory control concludes the book. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Operations Research and Financial Engineering,$x1431-8598 606 $aOperations research 606 $aDecision making 606 $aManagement science 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000 606 $aOperations Research, Management Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26024 606 $aOptimization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26008 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aDecision making. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 14$aOperations Research/Decision Theory. 615 24$aOperations Research, Management Science. 615 24$aOptimization. 676 $a519.2 700 $aPflug$b Georg Ch$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0721262 702 $aPichler$b Alois$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299970103321 996 $aMultistage Stochastic Optimization$92512148 997 $aUNINA
