Interactions of Uncertainty and Optimization: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications to Chemical Site Operations

This thesis explores different paradigms for incorporating uncertainty with optimization frameworks for applications in chemical engineering and site-wide operations. First, we address the simulation optimization problem, which deals with the search for optimal input parameters to black-box stochast...
