Exploring the (efficient) frontiers of portfolio optimization [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion, 2017
The cardinality-constrained portfolio optimization problem is NP-hard. Its Pareto front (or the Efficient Frontier - EF) is usually calculated by stochastic algorithms, including EAs. However, in certain cases the EF may be decomposed into a union of sub-EFs.

A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,
