  1. 16. Cable Shape Optimization - Drag Reduction of Cables Used in Marine Applications

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Simon Garpenquist; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind Tunnel Experiment; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Aerodynamic Forces; Drag Reduction; Shape Optimization; Flow around Cylinders; Yacht Racing;

    Abstract : It is important to understand the aerodynamic properties of tensioned cables (e.g. used in suspension bridges and yacht riggings), both for drag reduction and vibrational suppression purposes. READ MORE

  3. 17. Robust Portfolio Optimization with Correlation Penalties

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Pelle Nydahl; [2023]
    Keywords : Portfolio Optimization; Portfolio Allocation; Robust Optimization; Correlation; Risk Factor Model; EMA Filtering; Weighted Linear Regression; Portföljoptimering; Portföljallokering; Robust optimering; Korrelation; Riskfaktor-modell; EMA-filtrering; Viktad linjär regression;

    Abstract : Robust portfolio optimization models attempt to address the standard optimization method's high sensitivity to noise in the parameter estimates, by taking an investor's uncertainty about the estimates into account when finding an optimal portfolio. In this thesis, we study robust variations of an extension of the mean-variance problem, where an additional term penalizing the portfolio's correlation with an exogenous return sequence is included in the objective.
