[R-SIG-Finance] Urgent on the help

[Mark Leeds]

A few months back, someone mentioned  a paper on the internet that showed
how to modify the QP to handle transaction costs. I have the paper at work
but I don't remember the name of it and I haven't read it. If you check the
archives, I imagine the old thread must be there and the link also.

 Dear all

I am using quadratic programming to solve the portfolio optimization in
cosidering transaction cost. Is there any R optimization package can do
this? 

Solve.QP require the positive definite matrix in Dmat, while in my case,
this matrix in the objective function is not positive definite.
