Ok, on the advice of administration I open a new question, hoping that in this way it becomes clearer.
Like I said before, I am trying to understand how the authors of this (page 76) and this (page 31) works arrive to the condition $\left \| C(\widetilde{R}_1- \check{R}_1) \right \|\leq \Gamma$, with:
$\Gamma \in \mathbb{R}^+$ is a predefined parameter whose value reflects the degree of risk-tolerance of the investor, but for purposes of question it doesn't matter knowing what it means.
$\widetilde{R}_1=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\widetilde{S}_1^1}{S_0^1} & \frac{\widetilde{S}_1^2}{S_0^2} & \cdots & \frac{\widetilde{S}_1^M}{S_0^M} \end{bmatrix}^T$ represents the vector of random returns for the first period (i.e. $t=1$) given the current price of $m$-th stock included in the underlying basket of multiasset option, for $m=1,...,M$.
$\check{R}_1=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\check{S}_1^1}{S_0^1} & \frac{\check{S}_1^2}{S_0^2} & \cdots & \frac{\check{S}_1^M}{S_0^M} \end{bmatrix}^T$ represents the vector of expected returns for the first period (i.e. $t=1$) given the current price of $m$-th stock included in the underlying basket of multiasset option, for $m=1,...,M$.
$C=\sum^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ is a matrix obtained (I still got to figure out) applying Cholesky decomposition. Text only says that $C^TC=\sum^{-1}$.
$\left \| x \right \|$ is (I quote from page 31 second link that I inserted) a general norm of a factor, depending on the modeler's preference, it can be $L_1,L_2,L_{\infty}$ or $D$-norm. It's the only thing that authors say about that, so I can't be more specific. But I earlier found this paper (Robust Linear Optimization under General Norms - Bertsimas,Pachamanova,Sim) where, at page 513, it seems to be explained the meaning of $\left \| x \right \|$. In particular they consider (I don't know on what basis) uncertainty sets given by $\left \| M(vec(\widetilde{A})-vec(\check{A})) \right \|_{p}\leq \Delta$, and for the Proposition 1. page 512 they say that $\left \| x \right \|_p\doteq (\sum_{j=1}^{n}\left | x_j \right |^p)^{\frac{1}{p}}$, with $M$ a diagonal matrix that contains the inverses of the ranges of coefficient variation.
Now, in those circumstances, I would like to know if my reasoning below is correct in your opinion. In fact it doesn't deal with the mathematical meaning of condition above but with the reason that has led the authors to formalize it. This is what I think.
They suggest, in order to consider the correlation between the asset prices included in the basket, to study the correlation between the asset returns. Clearly, correlation must be quantized between each $m$-th asset included in the basket (or rather for each couple of asset on a set of $m$ elements, for a total of $\binom{m}{2}$ combinations without repetitions) and for each $t$-th instant of time. It's not the case to have such tremendous amount of information, moreover subject to uncertainty, so instead to constructing the variance-covariance matrix for each $t$ [i.e. to say considering, for each $t$, one by one, all the possible couples of assets and for any $j$-th possible realization of assets returns (for $j=1,...,n$ and $n$ the sample size) calculating the sum of cross products of deviations from the estimations of these realizations] they use the properties of $\sum$. We know that $∑$ for each $t$ is a square symmetric and positive definite matrix, i.e. to say not-singular, i.e. to say invertible, so we should be able to calculate $\sum^{-1}$ for Cholesky decomposition (first paper say that $\sum^{-1}=C^TC$) and then, I suppose, to use the spectral theorem to obtain the diagonal matrix in the condition above.
Is my reasoning correct?
Thanks in advance just for reading.
