I am working with a model for portfolio management (Black-Litterman specifically) in finance. I have problems trying to impose a constraint where I want the values of a vector ($w_i$) to be non-negative.



And this is my reverse optimization function.



$$mu = delta Sigma w, $$ where $delta$ is a constant



$$ Omega = tau (P' Sigma P), $$ where $P$ is a non-singular $3times n$ matrix and $Omega$ is a diagonal matrix with $0$'s in the off-diagonal positions



$$ Pi = [(tau Sigma)^-1 + P' Omega P ]^-1 [(tau Sigma)^-1 mu + P'Omega^-1 Q],$$ where $Q$ is a $1 times 3$ vector



$$
w_i = frac1 tau Sigma ^-1 Pi
$$



  • $w_i$ is a $n times 1$ vector


  • $Sigma$ is a $n times n$ non-singular matrix


  • $Pi$ is a $n times 1$ vector


  • $tau$ is a constant

Is it possible to add a constraint to this function such that all values in $w_i$ is non-negative?

  • While your problem's setup is surely clear to you, some important details need to be shared with your Readers. By "reverse optimization" it appears that you are working backward from a value of some (unstated) objective function to get values $w_r$. It is unclear how if the $w_r$ are determined by your formula, you would propose to "add a constraint". Perhaps you have in mind conditions on the data $Pi$ and $Sigma$ which force a strictly positive solution $vec w$?

  • Thank you. I thought the final formula was sufficient for my problem. I will add all of the formulas to the original post so it would be clear for everyone as well.

  • I have now edited the original post. Hope it is more clear now, and thanks for your patience. I have been tried to find a solution. A lot of papers mention the non-negativity constraint, but no formulas or solution are given for the problem.
