Abstract:
This thesis proposes a new active-set method for large-scale nonlinearly con strained optimization. The method solves a sequence of linear programs to generate search directions. The typical approach for globalization is based on damping the search directions with a trust-region constraint; our proposed ap proach is instead based on using a 2-norm regularization term in the objective. Numerical evidence is presented which demonstrates scaling inefficiencies in current sequential linear programming algorithms that use a trust-region constraint. Specifically, we show that the trust-region constr

Abstract:
Digital filter banks have found in a wide variety of applications in data compression, digital communications, and adaptive signal processing. The common objectives of the filter bank design consist of frequency selectivity of the individual filters and perfect reconstruction of the filter banks. The design problems of filter banks are intrinsically challenging because their natural formulations are nonconvex constrained optimization problems. Therefore, there is a strong motivation to cast the design problems into convex optimization problems whose globally optimal solutions can be efficientl

Optimization plays an important role in many methods routinely used in statistics, machine learning and data science. Often, implementations of these methods rely on highly specialized optimization algorithms, designed to be only applicable within a specific application. However, in many instances recent advances, in particular in the field of convex optimization, make it possible to conveniently and straightforwardly use modern solvers instead with the advantage of enabling broader usage scenarios and thus promoting reusability.

We propose an analytic center cutting plane algorithm for semidefinite programming (SDP). Reformulation of the dual problem of SDP into an eigenvalue optimization, when the trace of any feasible primal matrix is a positive constant, is well known. We transform the eigenvalue optimization problem into a convex feasibility problem. The problem of interest seeks a feasible point in a bounded convex set, which contains a full dimensional ball with &egr;(<1) radius and is contained in a compact convex set described by matrix inequalities, known as the set of localization.

Abstract:
Harry Markowitz work in the 50’s spring-boarded modernportfolio theory. It gives investors quantitative tools to compose and assessasset portfolios in a systematic fashion. The main idea of the Mean-Varianceframework is that composing an optimal portfolio is equivalent to solving aquadratic optimization problem.In this project we employ the Maximally Predictable Portfolio (MPP) frameworkproposed by Lo and MacKinlay, as an alternative to Markowitz’s approach, inorder to construct investment portfolios. One of the benefits of using theformer method is that it accounts for forecasting estimation

Abstract:
This thesis investigates different issues related to the issuance of debt by sovereign bodies such as governments, under uncertainty about the future interest rates. Several dynamic models of interest rates are presented, along with extensive numerical experiments for calibration of models and comparison of performance on real financial market data. The main contribution of the thesis is the construction and demonstration of a stochastic optimisation model for debt issuance under interest rate uncertainty. When the uncertainty is modelled using a model from a certain class of single factor int

Abstract:
Optimization has enabled automated applications in chemical manufacturing such as advanced control and scheduling. These applications have demonstrated enormous benefit over the last few decades and continue to be researched and refined. However, these applications have been developed separately with uncoordinated objectives. This dissertation investigates the unification of scheduling and control optimization schemes. The current practice is compared to early-concept, light integrations, and deeper integrations. This quantitative comparison of economic impacts encourages further investigation
