The classical linear network flow allows for approximate models that more and more have come to their limits. This has raised interest in nonlinear but, for simplicity, still steady-state models. The present paper aims at mobilizing techniques from symbolic computation and reparametrization of multivariate integrals to enable validation of stochastic nominations following Gaussian distributions in passive gas networks with more than one cycle.

Whereas solution approaches for probabilistic constraints are often developed in case the uncertainties can be assumed to follow a certain probability distribution, robust approaches are usually used in case solutions are sought that are feasible for all realizations of uncertainties within some pre-defined uncertainty set. As many applications contain different types of uncertainties that require robust as well as probabilistic treatments, we deal with a class of joint probabilistic/robust constraints as its appears in optimization problems under uncertainty. Focusing on complex uncertain gas network optimization problems, we show the relevance of this class of problems for the task of maximizing free booked capacities in an algebraic model for a stationary gas network. We furthermore present approaches for their solution. Finally, we study the problem of controlling a transient system that is governed by the wave equation. The task consists in determining controls such that a certain robustness measure remains below some given upper bound, with high probability.
