Course Information
Catalog Course Description
Develop a broad perspective on the relationships between various types of optimization problems; acquire modeling and solution skills for various methodologies: integer programming, network flows, dynamic programming, heuristics; apply these skills to problems from domains such as service, production, transportation, and energy systems.
Learning Outcomes:
| 1. | Have a basic understanding of integer programming modeling and branch and bound algorithm as a solution method. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Have an understanding of basic concepts related to networks, network models including shortest path, maximum flow and minimum cost network flow problems |
| 3. | Have an understanding of dynamic programming |
| 4. | Have an understanding of heuristic approaches |
| 5. | Be able to implement developed models and/or solution methods using appropriate software |
Course Objective
To teach basic ingredients of deterministic optimization including integer programming modeling and solution methods, network models, dynamic programming and heuristics
