Optimization Methods in Finance Gerard Cornuejols tu Reha Tu ncu . Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA. January 2006. 2. Foreword Optimization models play an increasingly important role in financial de- cisions. Many computational Finance problems ranging from asset allocation to risk management, from option pricing to model calibration can be solved efficiently using modern Optimization techniques. This course discusses sev- eral classes of Optimization problems (including linear, quadratic, integer, dynamic, stochastic, conic, and robust programming) encountered in finan- cial models. For each problem class, after introducing the relevant theory (optimality conditions, duality, etc.) and efficient solution Methods , we dis- cuss several problems of mathematical Finance that can be modeled within this problem class. In addition to classical and well-known models such as Markowitz' mean-variance Optimization model we present some newer Optimization models for a variety of financial problems.
