Popis: This paper introduces a new algorithmic scheme for two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming assuming a risk averse decision maker. The focus is the minimization of the conditional value at risk for a hard combinatorial optimization problem. Some properties of a mixed-integer non-linear programming formulation for conditional value at risk are studied as well as their algorithmic implications. This yields to a procedure for obtaining lower and upper bounds on the optimal value of the problem that may lead to an optimal solution. The new developments are applied to a fixed-charge transportation problem with stochastic demand, and they are computationally tested. The corresponding results are thoroughly presented and discussed.
