Financial Optimization Models in Data Networks*

In a competitive market investors in a data network need to give utmost considerations on profitability. They must have clear picture of the size, growth rate and demand for different services. However, the investors’ budget may be limited, and therefore the speed at which the network is rolled out, must be carefully planned to ensure that they can meet profitability targets. We model first the roll out order as combinatorial optimization problems and then extend them as continuous optimization problems. We then implement these models in a practical problem. Numerical studies suggested that the optimization problems have multiple local minima. Therefore, a global optimization technique is used to obtain the global minimum for the continuous variable problem and a combinatorial optimization technique is used to solve the discrete variable problem. Optimal financial indicators are obtained to assess the commercial viability of the network. Finally, we demonstrate that the solution of these optimization problems can provide an investment policy to the investors in data networks. *This network is a combined telephone and data network such as VIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).

A Multidimensional Branch-and-Prune Method for Interval Global Optimization

In this paper a new multidimensional extension of the recently developed one-dimensional enclosure method called kite is given for interval global optimization. A more sophisticated version of the pruning technique based on the kite method is introduced. By the new componentwise approach all the one-dimensional theoretical results and procedures can be used in the higher-dimensional case. The possibilities in the implementation of the new algorithm together with numerical results on 40 standard test problems are presented.     

Global Optimization Versus Integer Programming in Portfolio Optimization under Nonconvex Transaction Costs

This paper is concerned with a portfolio optimization problem under concave and piecewise constant transaction cost. We formulate the problem as nonconcave maximization problem under linear constraints using absolute deviation as a measure of risk and solve it by a branch and bound algorithm developed in the field of global optimization. Also, we compare it with a more standard 0–1 integer programming approach. We will show that a branch and bound method elaborating the special structure of the problem can solve the problem much faster than the state-of-the integer programming code.

Successive Optimization Method via Parametric Monotone Composition Formulation*

In this paper a successive optimization method for solving inequality constrained optimization problems is introduced via a parametric monotone composition reformulation. The global optimal value of the original constrained optimization problem is shown to be the least root of the optimal value function of an auxiliary parametric optimization problem, thus can be found via a bisection method. The parametric optimization subproblem is formulated in such a way that it is a one-parameter problem and its value function is a monotone composition function with respect to the original objective function and the constraints. Various forms can be taken in the parametric optimization problem in accordance with a special structure of the original optimization problem, and in some cases, the parametric optimization problems are convex composite ones. Finally, the parametric monotone composite reformulation is applied to study local optimality.

Combining a Local Search and Grover’s Algorithm in Black-Box Global Optimization

Grover’s quantum algorithm promises a quadratic acceleration for any problem formulable as a search. For unstructured search problems, its implementation and performance are well understood. The curse of dimensionality and the intractability of the general global optimization problem require any identifiable structure or regularity to be incorporated into a solution method. This paper addresses the application of Grover’s algorithm when a local search technique is available, thereby combining the quadratic acceleration with the acceleration seen in the multistart method. The author thanks Dr. Bill Baritompa for helpful discussions.
