Abstract

Although there were some works on analog neural networks for sparse portfolio design, the existing works do not allow us to control the number of the selected assets and to adjust the weighting between the risk and return. This paper proposes a Lagrange programming neural network (LPNN) model for sparse portfolio design, in which we can control the number of selected assets. Since the objective function of the sparse portfolio design contains a non-differentiable \(\ell _1\)-norm term, we cannot directly use the LPNN approach. Hence, we propose a new formulation based on an approximation of the \(\ell _1\)-norm. In the theoretical side, we prove that state of the proposed LPNN network globally converges to the nearly optimal solution of the sparse portfolio design. The effectiveness of the proposed LPNN approach is verified by the numerical experiments. Simulation results show that the proposed analog approach is superior to the comparison analog neural network models.
