Numerical Optimization Methods in Economics [PDF]
Optimization problems are ubiquitous in economics. Many of these problems are sufficiently complex that they cannot be solved analytically. Instead economists need to resort to numerical methods. This article presents the most commonly used methods for both unconstrained and constrained optimization problems in economics; it emphasizes the solid ...

Fokker–Planck Analysis of Superresolution Microscopy Images
A method for the analysis of super-resolution microscopy images is presented. This method is based on the analysis of stochastic trajectories of particles moving on the membrane of a cell with the assumption that this motion is determined by the ...

A numerical evaluation of solvers for the periodic Riccati differential equation
Efficient and accurate structure exploiting numerical methods for solving the periodic Riccati differential equation (PRDE) are addressed. Such methods are essential, for example, to design periodic feedback controllers for periodic control systems ...

Fast iterative solvers for PDE-constrained optimization problems
In this thesis, we develop preconditioned iterative methods for the solution of matrix systems arising from PDE-constrained optimization problems. In order to do this, we exploit saddle point theory, as this is the form of the matrix systems we wish to ...

Optimal Risk Transfer: A Numerical Optimization Approach [PDF]
Capital efficiency and asset/liability management are part of the Enterprise Risk Management Process of any insurance/reinsurance conglomerate and serve as quantitative methods to fulfill the strategic planning within an insurance organization. A considerable amount of work has been done in this ample research field, but invariably one of the last ...
