single our inequality forms a half-space; the entire feasible set is denoted by a series of linear functions—-these linear equalities are each CONVEX. The resulting feasible set, then, is ALSO convex—-meaning any line within the set remains within the set. So, any local minimum is a global minimum.
This is a convex problem where all constrains and objectives are affine.

Last edited: June 6, 2026Let \(X\) denote price and \(Y\) denote volatility. The two objects obey the following process:
\begin{equation} \begin{cases} \dd{X} = \mu X \dd{t} + XY \dd{W} \\ \dd{Y} = \sigma Y \dd{B} \end{cases} \end{equation}
where, \(W\) and \(B\) are correlated Brownian motions with correlation \(\rho\) — \(E[(\dd{W})(\dd{B})] = \rho \dd{t}\).
Let’s work with \(Y\) first. We understand that \(Y\) is some continuous variable \(e^{a}\). Therefore, \(\dv{Y}{t}=ae^{a}\). Therefore, \(dY = ae^{a}dt\). Finally, then \(\frac{\dd{Y}}{Y} = \frac{ae^{a}}{e^{a}}\dd{t} = a\).

The amount of non Co2 generating sources have increased.
Yet, the absolute value didn’t decrease; the total rate, especially in the rest of the world, has actually significantly increased.
Trees
One way to remove Co2 is to plant trees; but, any oxidative reactions (respiration, being burnt) will reverse this reaction.

Take (mayfic) basalt, spread it everywhere, and enhance silicate weathering. From there they
