Research interests: 
Michal Červinka has focused on new applications of recent advances in nonlinear optimization and equilibrium modeling in finance and energy economics. His main research topics in recent years include development of new tools for stability analysis of stationarity points and solutions to mathematical programming problems with disjunctive structure, development of new solution approaches and modifications of existing numerical methods to particular structures of problems arising from various economics and finance applications.

Person detail

Duration: 2018 - 2020
Our research effort follows the current challenging problems of portfolio analysis and energy finance. In particular, we shall investigate sparse robust portfolio selection problems with non-smooth objectives and analyze the joint effects of sparsity and robustification using real stock exchange data.
