The technique of weighted sums, the Aumann’s integral and properties of interval arithmetic are used to establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the solution of these optimization problems. Moreover, we compare the numerical results obtained by applying the stochastic approach and the interval approach.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessRandom setOptimizationIntervalsAcceso restringido2014-12-12Puerta Yepes, María Eugenia
