WorstCaseAnsätze
WorstCaseAnsätze is a term used in German-language technical literature to denote a family of modelling approaches that seek to bound or analyze the worst-case behavior of a system by introducing an assumed form (Ansatz) for unknown quantities intended to capture extreme scenarios. The central idea is to reduce complex, uncertain problems to a more tractable representation by postulating a structured form for solutions, disturbances, or responses that focuses on the most adverse cases.
These approaches are common in fields such as optimization, control theory, and risk assessment, where guarantees
Key characteristics include the use of an explicit structure for unknown quantities, emphasis on worst-case scenarios,
Limitations include potential over-conservatism, dependence on the chosen uncertainty set, and the possibility that real-world behavior
