In the paper the impact of the growth potential index (GPI) of risky assets and bear market safety switches in portfolio decisions is discussed. A recursive formulation based on out-of-sample time series predictions of the underlying assets is applied in the empirical testing. It is demonstrated that the multiple representations framework provides useful forecasts for portfolio management. A nu...

trajectories generally used to describe the space and time required to perform a desired motion task for a mobile robot or manipulator system. in this paper, we considered a cubic polynomial trajectory for the problem of moving a mobile robot from its initial position to a goal position in over a continuous set of time. along the path, the robot requires to observe a certain acceleration profil...

we establish a relationship between general constrained pseudoconvex optimization problems and globally projected dynamical systems. a corresponding novel neural network model, which is globally convergent and stable in the sense of lyapunov, is proposed. both theoretical and numerical approaches are considered. numerical simulations for three constrained nonlinear optimization problems are giv...

The NP-hard nature of cardinality constrained mean-variance portfolio optimization problems has led to a number of different algorithms with varying degrees of success in reaching optimality given limited computational resources and under the presence of strict time constraints present in practice. The proposed local relaxation algorithm explores the inherent structure of the objective function...

The traditional quadratic programming approach to portfolio optimisation is difficult to implement when there are cardinality constraints. Recent approaches to resolving this have used heuristic algorithms to search for points on the cardinality constrained frontier. However, these can be computationally expensive when the practitioner does not know a priori exactly how many assets they may des...

in financial matters, portfolio can be interpreted as a combination or a series of investments hold by an institution or a person. portfolio optimization is one of the most important concerns of investors for maximizing the portfolio in financial markets. the formation of portfolio is a vital and critical decision for the companies.  in fact, the selection of portfolio is to specify the capital...

We introduce a cardinality constrained multi-objective optimization problem for generating efficient portfolios within a fuzzy mean-absolute deviation framework. We assume that the return on a given portfolio is modeled by means of LR-type fuzzy variables, whose credibility distributions collect the contemporary relationships among the returns on individual assets. To consider credibility measu...

Portfolio optimization problem has received a lot of attention from both researchers and practitioners over the last six decades. This paper provides an overview of the current state of research in portfolio optimization with the support of mathematical programming techniques. On top of that, this paper also surveys the solution algorithms for solving portfolio optimization models classifying t...

In this paper, a novel prediction based mean-variance (PBMV) model has been proposed, as an alternative to the conventional Markowitz mean-variance model, to solve the constrained portfolio optimization problem. In the Markowitz mean-variance model, the expected future return is taken as the mean of the past returns, which is incorrect. In the proposed model, first the expected future returns a...
