| Abstract: | |||
| This paper is concerned with an efficient algorithm for solving a mean-variance model under nonconvex transaction costs. We will show that this difficult problem can now be solved by using classical linearization technique of a separable nonlinear function. The resulting problem is a mixed zero-one integer programming problem with several thousand 0-1 integer variables, so that it is still beyond the reach of powerful integer programming softwares. However, by using a variety of heuristics, we can now solve a medium scale problem within a practical amount of time. | |||
