A simulated annealing approach to optimal storing in a multi-level warehouse

We propose a simulated annealing algorithm specifically tailored to optimise total retrieval times in a multi-level warehouse under complex pre-batched picking constraints. Experiments on real data from a picker-to-parts order picking process in the warehouse of a European manufacturer show that optimal storage assignments do not necessarily display features presumed in heuristics, such as clustering of positively correlated items or ordering of items by picking frequency. In an experiment run on more than 4000 batched orders with 1 to 150 items per batch, the storage assignment suggested by the algorithm produces a 21\% reduction in the total retrieval time with respect to a frequency-based storage assignment.

Cross correlations in European government bonds and EuroStoxx

We use principle component analysis (PCA) of cross correlations in European government bonds and European stocks to investigate the systemic risk contained in the European economy. We tackle the task to visualize the evolution of risk, introducing the conditional average rolling sum (CARS). Using this tool we see that the risk of government bonds and stocks had an independent movement. But in the course of the European sovereign debt crisis the coupling between bonds and stocks has strongly ncreased. This results in an in-phase oscillation of risk for both markets since mid 2010. In our data, we observe a steep amplitude increase, suggesting a high vulnerability of the two coupled systems.

Measuring switching processes in financial markets with the Mean-Variance spin glass approach

In this article we use the Mean-Variance Model in order to measure the current market state. In our study we take the approach of detecting the overall alignment of portfolios in the spin picture. The projection to the ground-states enables us to use physical observables in order to describe the current state of the explored market. The defined magnetization of portfolios shows cursor effects, which we use to detect turmoils.
