Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate branch and bound strategies and the comparison of branch and cut with pure branch and bound approaches on high speed telecommunication network design under uncertainty. We model the problem as a two-stage stochastic program with discrete first-stage (investment) variables. Two formulations of the problem are used. The first one with general integer investment variables and the second one, a variant of the first model, with 0-1 investment variables. We present computational results for three solution approaches: the integer L-shaped (Benders) decomposition, a branch and bound framework and a disjunctive cutting plane method.
