Robust asset allocation with conditional value at risk using the forward search

The well‐known Markowitz approach to portfolio allocation, based on expected returns and their covariance, seems to provide questionable results in financial management. One motivation for the pitfall is that financial returns have heavier than Gaussian tails, so the covariance of returns, used in the Markowitz model as a measure of portfolio risk, is likely to provide a loose quantification of the effective risk. Additionally, the Markowitz approach is very sensitive to small changes in either the expected returns or their correlation, often leading to irrelevant portfolio allocations. More recent allocation techniques are based on alternative risk measures, such as value at risk (VaR) and conditional VaR (CVaR), which are believed to be more accurate measures of risk for fat‐tailed distributions. Nevertheless, both VaR and CVaR estimates can be influenced by the presence of extreme returns. In this paper, we discuss sensitivity to the presence of extreme returns and outliers when optimizing the allocation, under the constraint of keeping CVaR to a minimum. A robust and efficient approach, based on the forward search, is suggested. A Monte Carlo simulation study shows the advantages of the proposed approach, which outperforms both robust and nonrobust alternatives under a variety of specifications. The performance of the method is also thoroughly evaluated with an application to a set of US stocks.     

Mean-field effects on the aging transitions in the damaged networks

We investigate the dynamical robustness property of the damaged network of active and inactive oscillators under the influence of the mean-field diffusion. The tolerance of dynamical activity of the entire coupled network has realized through the aging transition in the coupled dynamical network. We analytically derived the critical threshold of mean-field density and coupling values for the appearance of the aging transition in the damaged network. By using the critical values as a quantifiable measure of dynamical robustness of the damaged network, we showed that higher mean-field value is favorable to increase the dynamical robustness of the entire network. We also perform the numerical experiment on the network of Stuart-Landau oscillators and the obtained numerical results have an excellent agreement with the analytical findings. Finally, we extend our investigation into the coupled time-delayed network and discussed the affirmative influence of the mean-field parameter on the dynamical robustness of the network.

PTFE/EP Reinforced MOF/SiO2 Composite as a Superior Mechanically Robust Superhydrophobic Agent towards Corrosion Protection,Self-Cleaning and Anti-Icing

Organic resin cross-linking ZIF-67/SiO₂ superhydrophobic (SHPB) multilayer coating was successfully fabricated on metal substrate. The perfluoro-octyl-triethoxy silane (POTS) modified ZIF-67 and SiO₂ coating was applied on primary coated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and epoxy resin (EP) via spray coating method. Here, we present that the robust superhydrophobicity can be realized by structuring surfaces at two different length scales, with a nanostructure design to provide water repellence and a microstructure design to provide durability. The as-fabricated multilayer coating displayed superior water-repellence (CA=167.4°), chemical robustness (pH=1–14) and mechanical durability undergoing 120th linear abrasion or 35th rotatory abrasion cycle. By applying different acidic and basic corrosive media and various weathering conditions, it can still maintain superior-hydrophobicity. To get a better insight of interaction between inhibitor molecules and metal surface, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed, showing lower energy gap and increased binding energy of ZPS/SiO₂/PTFE/EP (ZPS=ZIF-67+POTS) multilayer coating compared to the ZIF-67/SiO₂/PTFE/EP, thereby supporting the experimental findings. Additionally, such coatings may be useful for applications such as anti-corrosion, self-cleaning, and anti-icing multi-functionalities.     

Multivariate measurement error models for replicated data under heavy‐tailed distributions

In this paper, we deal with multivariate measurement error models for replicated data under heavy‐tailed distributions, providing appealing robust and adaptable alternatives to the usual Gaussian assumptions. The models contain both error‐prone covariates and predictors measured without errors. The surrogates of the response and the multiple error‐prone covariates are replicated and are allowed unpaired and/or unequal cases. Under the scale mixtures of normal distribution class, we provide an explicit iterative formula of the maximum likelihood estimation via an expectation‐maximization‐type algorithm. Closed forms of asymptotic variances of the estimators are also given. The effect and robustness performances are confirmed by the simulation studies. Two real data sets are analyzed by the proposed models. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

一种简单的精确捕捉接触间断的黎曼求解器

基于Godunov型数值格式的有限体积法是求解双曲型守恒律系统的主流方法,其中用来计算界面数值通量的黎曼求解器在很大程度上决定了数值格式在计算中的表现。单波的Rusanov求解器和双波的HLL求解器具有简单、高效和鲁棒性好等优点,但是在捕捉接触间断时耗散太大。全波的HLLC格式能够精确捕捉接触间断,但是在计算中出现的激波不稳定现象限制了其在高马赫数流动问题中的应用。本文利用双曲正切函数和五阶WENO格式来重构界面两侧的密度值,并且结合边界变差下降算法来减小Rusanov格式耗散项中的密度差,从而提高格式对于接触间断的分辨率。研究表明,相比于全波的HLLC求解器,本文构造的黎曼求解器不仅具有更高的接触分辨率,而且还具有更好的激波稳定性。
