We study a stochastic optimization problem that has its roots in financial portfolio design. The problem has a specified deterministic objective function and constraints on the co...
Abstract. We solve the Poisson disorder problem when the delay is penalized exponentially. Our objective is to detect as quickly as possible the unobservable time of the change (or...
A simulation-based optimization framework involving simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) is presented as a means for optimally specifying parameters of intern...
Consider a trader who exchanges one dollar into yen and assume that the exchange rate fluctuates within the interval [m, M]. The game ends without advance notice, then the trader ...
The Gaussian kernel density estimator is known to have substantial problems for bounded random variables with high density at the boundaries. For i.i.d. data several solutions hav...
