“…These facts have highlighted the importance of CVaR for making decisions in uncertain situations. In fact, the mean-CVaR model has been widely studied to solve efficiently, e.g., linear optimization approaches [22,27], nonsmooth optimization approaches [7,18,24,30], scenario representation by factor model [21], cutting-plane algorithms [2,17,23,33], level method [13], smoothing methods [3,35] and successive regression approximations [1].…”
