Portfolio optimization with CVaR constraints

<t>Hi Will,With 1000 scenarios all pivoting algs need to update a matrix of order 1000, so you need a storage of 1000^2, at least. I assume that you are using some simplex algorithm for dense problems. In fact your problem is sparse (as most MC methods are!), so you can write your algorithm for spar...

Best Numerical Method for American Put

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: CuchulainnI had a look at both Jaillet (1980) and A. Borici's papers. These papers do realise that the mesh size in S needs to be chosen in such a way that the resulting matix is a Z matrix. This is 5.1 in Jaillet and p. 6.7 in Borici.Actually, this phenomenon is well-k...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: CuchulainnQuote1. Optimality. So, you got two optimal solutions! And then you do average them, don't you? The BS price is unique and your algorithm assumes otherwise!

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: CuchulainnQuoteI'd be delighted to see the proof that this method gives the optimal priceHere's my hunch. I refer to your paper.1. Instead of (2.9) based on theta method, and the resulting (2.13) use ADE sweeps and apply (2.13) to each sweep solution. Then average them....
