Probabilistic Constrained Optimization: Methodology and Applications (Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications) - Softcover

 
9781441948403: Probabilistic Constrained Optimization: Methodology and Applications (Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications)

Synopsis

Probabilistic and percentile/quantile functions play an important role in several applications, such as finance (Value-at-Risk), nuclear safety, and the environment. Recently, significant advances have been made in sensitivity analysis and optimization of probabilistic functions, which is the basis for construction of new efficient approaches. This book presents the state of the art in the theory of optimization of probabilistic functions and several engineering and finance applications, including material flow systems, production planning, Value-at-Risk, asset and liability management, and optimal trading strategies for financial derivatives (options).
Audience: The book is a valuable source of information for faculty, students, researchers, and practitioners in financial engineering, operation research, optimization, computer science, and related areas.
