  • Abstract
    A numerical framework for continuous-time consumption-portfolio problems is set up by Markov chain approximation with the logarithmic transformation (We call it MCALT1 algorithm). We show that the complexity of the algorithm is a polynomial. An example with and with prohibition of short-sale on risky securities is provided to demonstrate the proposed numerical method.
