  1. 1. Causal Discovery for Time Series : Based on Continuous Optimization

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Ali Nouri; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Causal discovery is an important field of study that seeks to understand the underlying relationships between variables in a system. The goal of causal discovery is to discover the causal relationships from observational data and determine the direction of influence between variables. READ MORE

  3. 2. Real-time Optimal Braking for Marine Vessels with Rotating Thrusters

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Sigurlaug Rún Jónsdóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : Nonlinear optimization; nonlinear optimal control; numerical optimal control; real-time solution; optimal braking; receding horizon; modeling; ship model; propeller forces; rudder forces; direct multiple shooting method; discretization;

    Abstract : Collision avoidance is an essential component of autonomous shipping. As ships begin to advance towards autonomy, developing an advisory system is one of the first steps. An advisory system with a strong collision avoidance component can help the crew act more quickly and accurately in dangerous situations. READ MORE

  5. 4. Continuous-variable quantum annealing with superconducting circuits

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Pontus Vikstål; [2018]
    Keywords : quantum annealing; adiabatic quantum computing; continuous variables; coherent states; Wigner function; superconducting circuits; Kerr-nonlinear resonator.;

    Abstract : Quantum annealing is expected to be a powerful generic algorithm for solving hard combinatorial optimization problems faster than classical computers. Finding the solution to a combinatorial optimization problem is equivalent to finding the ground state of an Ising Hamiltonian. READ MORE

  6. 5. Combinatorial and price efficient optimization of the underlying assets in basket options

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Sara Alexis; [2017]
    Keywords : Option pricing; correlated stochastic processes; Basket option; moment matching; lognormal approximation; binary nonlinear optimization; continuous nonlinear optimization; Monte Carlo simulation; penalty methods;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to develop an optimization model that chooses the optimal and price efficient combination of underlying assets for a equally weighted basket option. To obtain a price efficient combination of underlying assets a function that calculates the basket option price is needed, for further use in an optimization model. READ MORE
