In this part of the book we present the numerical techniques needed to turn the ideas presented so far into an efficient allocation algorithm. In particular, first we show how to solve efficiently the full optimization problem. Then, in Chapter 25, we show that two approximations are both surprisingly effective and capable of recasting the full optimization problem into a much simpler and more familiar mean-variance framework.
The surprising effectiveness of these approximations will also give us additional insight on the stability problem (which we first touched upon in Chapter 8). We shall expand on this insight in the final parts of the book.
