In many practical applications the environment is so complex that it is infeasible to lay out a comprehensive theoretical model and use classical algorithmic theory and mathematical optimization. It is necessary as well as beneficial to take a robust approach, by applying an optimization method that learns as one goes along, learning from experience as more aspects of the problem are observed. This view of optimization as a process has become prominent in varied fields and has led to some spectacular success in modeling and systems that are now part of our daily lives.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-09-07T19:06:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "online convex optimization", "introduction", "manuscript portrays optimization", "optimization method", "robust approach" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
