Recently, a new approach to tackle cardinality-constrained optimization problems based on a continuous reformulation of the problem was proposed. Following this approach, we derive a problem-tailored sequential optimality condition, which is satisfied at every local minimizer without requiring...

The NP-hard nature of cardinality constrained mean-variance portfolio optimization problems has led to a number of different algorithms with varying degrees of success in reaching optimality given limited computational resources and under the presence of strict time constraints present in...
