RSOME (Robust Stochastic Optimization Made Easy) is an open-source Python package for generic modeling of optimization problems (subject to uncertainty). Models in RSOME are constructed by variables, constraints, and expressions that are formatted as N-dimensional arrays. These arrays are consistent with the NumPy library in terms of syntax and operations, including broadcasting, indexing, slicing, element-wise operations, and matrix calculation rules, among others. In short, RSOME provides a convenient platform to facilitate developments of robust optimization models and their applications.

Installation <a id="section2"></a>
The RSOME package can be installed by using the <code>pip</code> command:
pip install rsome
Solver interfaces <a id="section3"></a>
The RSOME package transforms robust or distributionally robust optimization models into deterministic linear or conic programming problems, and solved by external solvers. Details of compatible solvers and their interfaces are presented in the following table.
| Solver | License type | Required version | RSOME interface | Second-order cone constraints | Exponential cone constraints | Semidefiniteness constraints |

| scipy.optimize | Open-source | >= 1.9.0 | lpg_solver | No | No | No |
| CyLP | Open-source | >= 0.9.0 | clp_solver | No | No | No |
| OR-Tools | Open-source | >= 7.5.7466 | ort_solver | No | No | No |
| ECOS | Open-source | >= 2.0.10 | eco_solver | Yes | Yes | No |
