Non-convex dynamic programming and optimal investment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We establish the existence of minimizers in a rather general setting of dynamic stochastic optimization without assuming either convexity or coercivity of the objective function. We apply this to prove the existence of optimal portfolios for non-concave utility maximization problems in financial market models with frictions (such as illiquidity), a first result of its kind. The proofs are based on the dynamic programming principle whose validity is established under quite general assumptions.

A numerical approach for optimal control model of the convex semi-infinite programming
In this paper, convex semi-infinite programming is converted to an optimal control model of neural networks and the optimal control model is solved by iterative dynamic programming method. In final, numerical examples are provided for illustration of the purposed method.
متن کاملExistence of solutions in non-convex dynamic programming and optimal investment∗
We establish the existence of minimizers in a rather general setting of dynamic stochastic optimization in finite discrete time without assuming either convexity or coercivity of the objective function. We apply this to prove the existence of optimal investment strategies for non-concave utility maximization problems in financial market models with frictions, a first result of its kind. The pro...
متن کاملA Method for Solving Convex Quadratic Programming Problems Based on Differential-algebraic equations
In this paper, a new model based on differential-algebraic equations(DAEs) for solving convex quadratic programming(CQP) problems is proposed. It is proved that the new approach is guaranteed to generate optimal solutions for this class of optimization problems. This paper also shows that the conventional interior point methods for solving (CQP) problems can be viewed as a special case of the n...
متن کاملMaximum Principle for Linear-convex Boundary Control Problems Applied to Optimal Investment with Vintage Capital
Abstract. The paper concerns the study of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle for an infinite dimensional and infinite horizon boundary control problem for linear partial differential equations. The optimal control model has already been studied both in finite and infinite horizon with Dynamic Programming methods in a series of papers by the same author et al. [26, 27, 28, 29, 30]. Necessary and s...
متن کاملProcess-Conditioned Investing with Incomplete Information using Maximum Causal Entropy
Investing to optimally maximize the growth rate of wealth based on sequences of event outcomes has many information-theoretic interpretations. Namely, the mutual information characterizes the benefit of additional side information being available when making investment decisions [1] in settings where the probabilistic relationships between side information and event outcomes are known. Addition...
