Hi,
Sorry, for my rushed responses, last night.
(Shouldn't post when I'm about to log out).
I haven't used the quadprog package for nearly a decade.
And I was hoping that an expert using optimization in finance in
economics would reply.
Some comments:
(1) I don't know why you think bvec should be a matrix. The
documentation clearly says it should be a vector (implying not a
matrix).
The only arguments that should be matrices are Dmat and Amat.
(2) I'm having some difficulty following your quadratic program, even
after rendering it.
Perhaps you could rewrite your expressions, in a form that is
consistent with the input to solve.QP. That's a math problem, not an R
programming problem, as such.
(3) If that fails, then you'll need to produce a minimal reproducible example.
I strongly recommend that the R code matches the quadratic program, as
closely as possible.
