An Approximation Algorithm for the Risk-Adjusted Two-Stage Stochastic Facility Location Problem with Penalties

In this paper, we consider the risk-adjusted two-stage stochastic facility location problem with penalties (RSFLPP). Using the monotonicity and positive homogeneity of the risk measure function, we present an LP-rounding-based 6-approximation algorithm.
