Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the big data era, massive amounts of data are generated and collected every second. Data-driven decision making and optimization are becoming increasingly important and popular in solving practical operations research issues in finance and economics, such as financial investment decision making and intelligent logistics scheduling. Exploring the law behind the data and mining valuable information is beneficial for decision makers to make the best choice. On the other hand, massive data also increase the burden in data processing and problem solving. It is necessary and important to further study highly intelligent data-driven decision making and optimization methods to improve decision-making efficiency.

The Special Issue aims to make visible the state-of-the-art techniques in data-driven decision making and optimization methods. The proposed articles should illuminate problems related to both mathematical modeling and optimization in finance and economics fields. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.

Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Financial modeling and optimization;
  • Financial portfolio selection;
  • Fuzzy theory and optimization;
  • Machine learning;
  • Investment risk preferences;
  • Behavior finance;
  • Smart business models;
  • Big data analysis techniques;
  • Intelligent logistics.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

This paper is presented in the context of sensitivity analysis (SA) of large-scale data assimilation (DA) models. We studied consistency, convergence, stability and roundoff error propagation of the reduced-space optimization technique arising in parallel 4D Variational DA problems. The results are helpful to understand the reliability of DA, to assess what confidence one can have that the simulation results are correct and to determine its configuration in any application. The main contributions of the present work are as follows. By using forward error analysis, we derived the number of conditions of the parallel approach. We found that the parallel approach reduces the number of conditions, revealing that it is more appropriate than the standard approach usually implemented in most operative software. As the background values are used as initial conditions of local PDE models, we analyzed stability with respect to time direction. Finally, we proved consistency of the proposed approach by analyzing local truncation errors of each computational kernel. Full article
