Abstract (translation) :
Due to the recent increase in bandwidth requirements, telecommunication operators have to support it with the deployment of optical fiber networks through Fiber-To-The-Home Gigabit Passive Optical Network technology (FTTH GPON). One great challenge, in a deregulated context, is to design this network while not knowing who and where the future subscribers will be. We focus on the problem of the robust optical fiber network deployment under demand uncertainty. A two-stage robust optimization model is proposed for this problem, as well as two robust solution methods extending classical results from Ben-Tal et al. and Babonneau et al. in order to be compliant with our uncertainty set.
