Consider the following problem.
Maximize Z = 5x1 + c2x2 + c3x3,
Subject to
Consider the following problem.
Maximize Z = 5x1 + c2x2 +

and
x1 ‰¥ 0, x2 ‰¥ 0, x3 ‰¥ 0.
The estimates and ranges of uncertainty for the uncertain parameters are shown in the next table.

Consider the following problem.
Maximize Z = 5x1 + c2x2 +

(a) Solve this model when using the estimates of the parameters.
(b) Now use robust optimization to formulate a conservative version of this model. Solve this model. Show the values of Z obtained in parts (a) and (b) and then calculate the percentage decrease in Z by replacing the original model by the robust optimization model.
