Abstract
Related Papers

In this paper, we propose a completely positive programming reformulation of the cardinality constrained portfolio selection problem. By constructing a sequence of computable cones of nonnegative quadratic forms over a union of second-order cones, an $\epsilon$-optimal solution of the original problem can be found in finite iterations using semidefinite programming techniques. In order to obtain a good lower bound efficiently, an adaptive scheme is adopted in our approximation algorithm. The numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can find better approximate and feasible solutions than other known methods in the literature.

Keywords: Cardinality constrained portfolio selection problem, adaptive approximation., completely positive programming, second-order cone.
