Computation of vector sublattices and minimal lattice-subspaces of R^k. Applications in finance

Abstract

In this article we perform a computational study of Polyrakis algorithms presented in [12,13]. These algorithms are used for the determination of the vector sublattice and the minimal lattice-subspace generated by a finite set of positive vectors of R^k. The study demonstrates that our findings can be very useful in the field of Economics, especially in completion by options of security markets and portfolio insurance.
