Portfolio selection with a new definition of risk

In the field of portfolio selection, variance, semivariance and probability of an adverse outcome are three best-known mathematical definitions of risk. Lots of models were built to minimize risk based on these definitions. This paper gives a new definition of risk for portfolio selection and proposes a new type of model based on this definition. In addition, a hybrid intelligent algorithm is employed to solve the optimization problem in general cases. One numerical example is also presented for the sake of illustration.
