Abstract
In the final part of this thesis, we address a class of stochastic programs with discrete first stage decisions and decision-dependent uncertainties. These problems are formulated as 0--1 hyperbolic programs for which we use the theory of convex extensions to develop a reformulation scheme and an exact solution strategy. The proposed methods are used in a case study for locating restaurant franchises.
