Abstract
In this work, we use a method of optimization of robustness to address an uncertain minimization problem. We obtain a problem called robust counterpart of the uncertain problem in the sense of stability radius. We compare the optimal solutions of this problem to those of the well-known robust counterpart defined by robust optimization method.
