Abstract
In this chapter, we are concerned with decision making methods for dynamic systems under uncertainty. We consider expected value optimization of stochastic systems and worst-case robust strategies. Stochastic decision-making involves uncertainty and consequently risk. An important tool to address the inherent error for forecasting uncertainty is worst-case analysis. From the risk management point of view, minimax yields the best strategy determined simultaneously with the worst state of the underlying system. Worst-case analysis is a robust framework for decisions under uncertainty as the actual performance of the decision has a noninferiority property. The significance of robust strategies is increasingly recognized as attitudes towards risk evolve in diverse areas. We present worst-case approach to macroeconomics policy making and financial portfolio management.
