Stochastic Survivable Network Design Problems

In this paper we introduce survivable network design problems under a two-stage stochastic model with fixed recourse and finitely many scenarios. We propose a new cut-based formulation based on orientation properties which is stronger than the undirected cut-based model. We use a two-stage branch&cut algorithm for solving the decomposed model to provable optimality. In order to accelerate the computations, we suggest a new cut strengthening technique for the decomposed L-shaped optimality cuts that is computationally fast and easy to implement.
