In this paper, we focus on distributionally robust chance constrained problems (DRCCPs) under general moments information sets. By convex analysis, we obtain an equivalent convex programming form for DRCCP under assumptions that the first and second order moments belong to corresponding convex and compact sets respectively. We give some examples of support functions about matrix sets to show the tractability of the equivalent convex programming and obtain the closed form solution for the worst case VaR optimization problem. Then, we present an equivalent convex programming form for DRCCP under assumptions that the first order moment set and the support subsets are convex and compact. We also give an equivalent form for distributionally robust nonlinear chance constrained problem under assumptions that the first order moment set and the support set are convex and compact. Moreover, we provide illustrative examples to show our results.

Keywords: Distributionally robust, chance constraint, moments uncertainty, support function.
