Portfolio Optimization Theory

NSGA-II is a very famous multi-objective optimization algorithm. I submitted an example previously and wanted to make this submission useful to others by creating it as a function. Even though this function is very specific to benchmark problems, with a little bit more modification this can be...

It is a hill climbing optimization algorithm for finding the minimum of a fitness function in the real space. The space should be constrained and defined properly. It attempts steps on every dimension and proceeds searching to the dimension and the direction that gives the lowest value of the...

The script quasi_newton_dfp.m optimizes a general multi variable real valued function using DFP quasi Newton method. During the iterations if optimum step length is not possible then it takes a fixed step length as 1. For the theory any good book on optimization techniques can be consulted. This...
