Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus

Intended learning outcomes

The course will provide basic insight in optimization, especially optimization of linear, nonlinear, and integer problems and problems with a network structure. The students can, after completing the course, formulate and analyze optimization models in the area of economic and technical applications; comprehend the basic mathematical theory on which the model and algorithms are based on; and be able to solve optimization problem both manually and with the help of a computer.

Course content

Linear programming: Modelling, basic mathematical theory and geometry, the simplex method, sensitivity analysis, duality, optimality conditions.
Nonlinear optimization: Modelling, convexity, unconstrained optimization, optimization under constraints, optimality conditions.
Network optimization: Modelling, shortest paths.
Integer optimization: Modelling, cutting plane and branch and bound.
