 In portfolio theory agents attempts to maximise portfolio expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently to minimise risk for a given level of expected return. In portfolio theory agents attempts to maximise portfolio expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently to minimise risk for a given level of expected return.

 The portfolio management can be portrayed graphically as in the above Figure, where the feasible set of variance-profitability combinations in enclosed by the blue curve and the B-D segment represents the efficient frontier, where no variance can be lowered at productivity's price or equivalently no productivity can be increased at price of increasing variance. The portfolio management can be portrayed graphically as in the above Figure, where the feasible set of variance-profitability combinations in enclosed by the blue curve and the B-D segment represents the efficient frontier, where no variance can be lowered at productivity's price or equivalently no productivity can be increased at price of increasing variance.

 As the only quadratic term arises when $i=j$ and $\sigma_{i,j}$ being the variance is always positive, the problem is convex and hence easily numerically solved. As the only quadratic term arises when $i=j$ and $\sigma_{i,j}$ being the variance is always positive, the problem is convex and hence easily numerically solved.

 +If you want to change the output library name (e.g. you want to create _portopt_p3.so for python3 alongside _portopt.so for python2), do it in the %module variable of portopt.i and in the -soname and -o options of the linking command (and don't forget to use the right python included directory in the compilation command).\\
 +You can then load the correct module in your script with something like:
 +  import sys
 +  if sys.version_info < (3, 0):
 +    import portopt
 +  else:
 +    import portopt_p3 as portopt
