Class SOCPSectorNeutrality

All Implemented Interfaces:
Function<Vector,Double>, RealScalarFunction

public class SOCPSectorNeutrality extends SOCPPortfolioConstraint
Transforms a sector neutral constraint into the compact SOCP form.

The sector neutral constraint is: \[ \sum_{j\in S_i}(w_j^0+x_j)=0,\quad i=1,\ldots,k, \] where \(S_i\) is the \(i\)th section indicator. By letting \(y=x+w^{0}\), the sector neutral constraint can be written as: \[ \sum_{j\in S_i}y_{j}=0, i=1,\cdots,k. \] And it is equivalent to: \[ ||(\sum_{j\in S_{i}}e_{j})^{\top}y||_{2}\leq 0. \] As a result the standard SOCP form of the sector neutral constraint can be written as: \[ ||(\sum_{j\in S_{i}}e_{j})^{\top}y||_{2}\leq 0\Longleftrightarrow ||A_{i}^{\top}z+C_{i}||_{2}\leq b^{\top}_{i}z+d_{i},\quad i=1,\cdots,k\\ A_{i}^{\top}=\sum_{j\in S_{i}}e^{\top}_{j},\; C_{i}=0,\; b_{i}=0_{n\times 1},\; d_{i}=0,\; z=y. \]
