Abstract

contents:

formulating, solving and iterpreting the solution of optimization problems.

We will discuss basic techniques and optimization methods for unconstrained optimization, least squares problems, network flow problems, and constrained optimization. For this we will also use and explain the basic features of the optimization toolbox of matlab.

audience:

graduate students in engineering and economics

requires:

basic linear algebra and calculus, in particular differentiation of multidimensional real functions

exams:

oral (English and/or German as you prefer, 30 min)

Literature

Course notes are available here.

If you prefer, you can also download das Skript in deutscher Sprache.

(There might be new versions over time, the current is of February 10, 2014).
