Asset allocation is important for diversifying risk and realizing gains in the financial market. It involves decisions taken under uncertainty based on statistical methods. Returns on financial assets generally present ...

This work proposes a methodology for optimized allocation of switches for automatic load transfer in distribution systems in order to improve the reliability indexes by restoring such systems which present voltage classes ...
