CBO algorithm with average drift and applications to portfolio optimization

We propose a consensus based optimization algorithm with average drift (in short Ad-CBO) and provide a theoretical framework for it. In the theoretical analysis, we show that particle solutions to Ad-CBO converge to a global minimizer. In numerical simulations, we examine Ad-CBO's performance in optimizing static and dynamic objective functions. As a real-time application, we test the efficiency of Ad-CBO to find the optimal portfolio given stochastically evolving multi-asset prices in a financial market. The proposed Ad-CBO exhibits higher searching speed, lower tracking errors and regret bound than the CBO without stochastic diffusion

Mathematical modeling of trend cycle: Fad, Fashion and Classic

In this work, we suggest a system of differential equations that quantitatively models the formulation and evolution of a trend cycle through the consideration of underlying dynamics between the trend participants. Our model captures the five stages of a trend cycle, namely, the onset, rise, peak, decline, and obsolescence. It also provides a unified mathematical criterion/condition to characterize the fad, fashion and classic. We prove that the solution of our model can capture various trend cycles. Numerical simulations are provided to show the expressive power of our model.

A Constrained Consensus Based Optimization algorithm and its Application to Finance

In this paper, we propose a predictor-corrector type Consensus Based Optimization (CBO) algorithm on a convex feasible set. Our proposed algorithm generalizes the CBO algorithm in [11] to tackle a constrained optimization problem for the global minima of the non-convex function defined on a convex domain. As a practical application of the proposed algorithm, we study the portfolio optimization problem in finance. In this application, we introduce an objective function to choose the optimal weight on each asset in a asset-bundle which yields the maximal expected returns given a certain level of risks. Simulation results show that our proposed predictor-corrector type model is successful in finding the optimal value.
