Abstract
In this paper a class of network optimization problems is discussed. It is assumed that a partial solution can be formed in the first stage, when the arc costs are precisely known, and completed optimally in the second stage, after a true second-stage cost scenario occurs. The robust min-max criterion is used to compute an optimal solution. Several complexity results for the interval and discrete uncertainty representations are provided.
