  2. Outline • Introduction • Origins - financial portfolio example • Quadratic optimization, optimal partition • Parametric quadratic optimization • Invariancy intervals and transition points • Differentiability • Algorithm and numerical illustration • Conclusions and future work

  3. Introduction Parametric optimization • Parameter  is introduced into objective function and/or constraints • The goal is to find • – optimal solution • – optimal value function • Allows to do sensitivity analysis • Many applications

  4. Financial Portfolio Example Problem of choosing an efficient portfolio of assets

  5. Financial Portfolio Example • Mean-variance formulation: Minimize portfolio risk subject to predetermined level of portfolio expected return. • xi, i=1,…,n asset holdings, • portfolio expected return, • portfolio variance. • Portfolio optimization problem (Markowitz, 1956):

  6. Financial Portfolio Example

  7. Quadratic Optimization • Primal Quadratic Optimization problem: • Dual Quadratic Optimization problem: • KKT conditions: • Maximally complementary solution: • LO: and - strictly complementary solution • QO: , but and can be both zero maximally complementary solution maximizes the number of non-zero coordinates in and

  8. Optimal Partition • The optimalpartition of the index set {1, 2,…, n} is The optimalpartition is unique!!! • An optimal solution (x,y,s) is maximally complementary iff: • The support set of a vector v is: • For any maximally complementary solution :

  9. Parametric Quadratic Programming • Primal and dual perturbed problems: • Notation: • - feasible sets of the problems • - optimal solution sets of • We are interested in: • Studying properties of the functions and . • Designing an algorithm for computing and without discretizing the space of • Properties: • Domain of is a closed interval • Optimal partition plays a key role

  11. Invariancy Intervals • For some we are given the maximally complementary optimal solution of and with the optimal partition . • The left and right extreme points of the invariancy interval: - invariancy interval - transition points • On an invariancy interval a convex combination of the maximally complementary optimal solutions for and is a maximally complementary optimal solution for the corresponding .

  12. Optimal Value Function The optimal value function is: • quadratic on the invariancy intervals and: • strictly convex if • linear if • strictly concave if • continuous and piecewise quadratic on its domain

  13. Transition Points • Equivalent statements: • is a transition point • or is discontinuous at • invariancy interval = (singleton) • How to proceed from the current invariancy interval to the next one? • Derivatives In a non-transition point the first order derivative of the optimal value function is

  14. Derivatives • Derivatives in transition points: The left and right derivatives of the optimal value function at :
