Metaheuristics have shown promising performance in solving various deterministic optimization problems, but their performance may deteriorate drastically when tackling problems containing stochastic multiple objectives that should be optimized simultaneously. In recent years, a large amount of...

We introduce a notion of volatility uncertainty in discrete time and define the corresponding analogue of Pengs G-expectation. In the continuous-time limit, the resulting sublinear expectation converges weakly to the G-expectation. This can be seen as a Donsker-type result for the G-Brownian...

In this paper we consider the object oriented implementation of numerical algorithms where arithmetic operators (add, mult, exp) operate on objects with more complex structure (compared to floating point numbers). Examples are objects representing vectors instead of scalars, random variables,...

Motivated by the problems of the conventional model in rationalizing market data, we derive the equilibrium interest rate and risk premiums using recursive utility in a continuous time model. We consider the version of recursive utility which gives the most unambiguous separation of risk...

We define a regularized variant of the Dual Dynamic Programming algorithm called REDDP (REgularized Dual Dynamic Programming) to solve nonlinear dynamic programming equations. We extend the algorithm to solve nonlinear stochastic dynamic programming equations. The corresponding algorithm, called...

We present efficient partial differential equation (PDE) methods for continuous time mean-variance portfolio allocation problems when the underlying risky asset follows a jump-diffusion. The standard formulation of mean-variance optimal portfolio allocation problems, where the total wealth is...

In this paper, we propose a new approach for stochastic control problems arising from utility maximization. The main idea is to directly start from the dynamical programming equation and compute the conditional expectation using a novel representation of the conditional density function through...
