Online convex optimization in the bandit setting: gradient descent without a gradient
We study a general online convex optimization problem. We have a convex set S and an unknown sequence of cost functions c1, c2, . . . , and in each period, we choose a feasible po...

On optimal portfolio diversification with respect to extreme risks
Extreme losses of portfolios with heavy-tailed components are studied in the framework of multivariate regular variation. Asymptotic distributions of extreme portfolio losses are ...

Bounding Recursive Procedural Models Using Convex Optimization
We present an algorithm to construct a tight bounding polyhedron for a recursive procedural model. We first use an iterated function system (IFS) to represent the extent of the p...
