Decision-Making for Land Conservation: A Derivative-Free Optimization Framework with Nonlinear Inputs
Cassidy K. Buhler, Hande Y. Benson
Protected areas (PAs) are designated spaces where human activities are restricted to preserve critical habitats. Decision-makers are challenged with balancing a trade-off of financ…
Optimal land conservation decisions for multiple species
Cassidy K. Buhler, Hande Y. Benson
Given an allotment of land divided into parcels, government decision-makers, private developers, and conservation biologists can collaborate to select which parcels to protect, in…
Efficient Solution of Portfolio Optimization Problems via Dimension Reduction and Sparsification
Cassidy K. Buhler, Hande Y. Benson
The Markowitz mean-variance portfolio optimization model aims to balance expected return and risk when investing. However, there is a significant limitation when solving large port…
Regularized Step Directions in Nonlinear Conjugate Gradient Methods
Cassidy K. Buhler, Hande Y. Benson, David F. Shanno
Conjugate gradient minimization methods (CGM) and their accelerated variants are widely used. We focus on the use of cubic regularization to improve the CGM direction independent o…
