We consider a model whereby players compete for a set of shared resources to produce and sell substitute products in the same market, which can be viewed as a generalization of the classical Cournot oligopolistic competition model, or, from a different angle, the Wardrop type routing model. In...

Complex polynomial optimization problems arise from real-life applications including radar code design, MIMO beamforming, and quantum mechanics. In this paper, we study complex polynomial optimization models where the objective function takes one of the following three forms: (1) multilinear;...

Extreme events occur rarely, but these are often the circumstances where an insurance coverage is demanded. Given the first, say, n moments of the risk(s) of the events, one is able to compute or approximate the tight bounds for risk measures in the form of E(ψ(x)) through semidefinite...

The aim of this paper is to apply the concept of robust optimization introduced by Bel-Tal and Nemirovski to the portfolio selection problems based on multi-stage scenario trees. The objective of our portfolio selection is to maximize an expected utility function value (or equivalently, to...
