Abstract

In [1], robust combinatorial optimization problem is introduced, where a positive integer $\Gamma$ is used to control the degree of robustness. The proposed algorithm needs solutions of n+1 nominal problems. In this paper, we show that the number of problems needed reduces to $n+1-\Gamma$.
