projects scheduling by the project portfolio selection, something that has its own complexity and its flexibility, can create different composition of the project portfolio. an integer programming model is formulated for the project portfolio selection and scheduling.two heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithm (ga) and simulated annealing (sa), are presented to solve the problem. results of cal...

Robust supplier selection problem, in a scenario-based approach has been proposed, when the demand and exchange rates are subject to uncertainties. First, a deterministic multi-objective mixed integer linear programming is developed; then, the robust counterpart of the proposed mixed integer linear programming is presented using the recent extension in robust optimization theory. We discuss dec...

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...

Portfolio optimization is one of the most important issues for effective and economic investment. There is plenty of research in the literature addressing this issue. Most of these pieces of research attempt to make the Markowitz’s primary portfolio selection model more realistic or seek to solve the model for obtaining fairly optimum portfolios. An efficient frontier in the ...

the pupose of this paper is modeling of partial digest problem (pdp) as a mathematical programming problem. in this paper we present a new viewpoint of pdp. we formulate the pdp as a continuous optimization problem and develope a method to solve this problem. finally we constract a linear programming model for the problem with an additional constraint. this later model can be solved by the simp...

The problem of portfolio optimization which deals with the twin objectives of minimizing risk and maximizing expected portfolio return can turn complex when constraints that model investor preferences and market norms such as bounding, cardinality and class constraints, and short sales are included in it. A complex-constrained portfolio optimization such as this has been beyond the reach of sol...

credit allocation through the usage of portfolio optimization mainly seeks tomaximize return and minimize the risk of the portfolio; but there are other importantissues including sustainable development which is important for government/publicsectors. this paper presents a novel credit allocation approach based on portfoliooptimization and investigates the effects of selected indicators of sust...
