Dual characterizations of set containments involving uncertain polyhedral sets in Banach spaces with applications

Abstract

In this paper, we first give a dual characterization for set containments defined by lower semi-continuous and sublinear functions on Banach spaces. Next, we provide dual characterizations for robust polyhedral containments where a robust counterpart of an uncertain polyhedral set is contained in another polyhedral set or a polyhedral set is contained in a robust counterpart of an uncertain polyhedral set. Finally, as an application, we derive Lagrange multiplier characterizations for robust solutions of the robust uncertain linear programming problems.
