Synopsis:

The course is aimed at an overview of numerical optimization methods applicable not only in the Civil Engineering area. The emphasis is put more on the introduction of driving principles, however, practical applications in MATLAB environment are also conducted during exercises.

Requirements:

no prerequisities

Syllabus of lectures:

Introduction to Global optimization

Mathematical Programming I

Mathematical Programming II

Mathematical Programming III

Direct Search methods, Simulated Annealing, Threshold Acceptance

Genetic Algorithms

Evolution Strategies, Differential Evolution, PSO and ACO

Parallel Evolutionary Algorithms and No free lunch theorem

Multi-modal optimization, comparison of optimization algorithms

Multi-objective optimization, constrained optimization

Meta-modeling

Genetic Programming

Examples of engineering applications

Syllabus of tutorials:

Example of portfolio management

Mathematical Programming

Traveling Salesman Problem and Simulated Annealing

Genetic Algorithms

Genetic Programming

Study Objective:

The goal of the course is to obtain an understanding of basic principles and terminology of mathematical optimization as well as approaches to global stochastic methods. The theoretical exposition will be complemented with practical solution of selected optimization problems using publicly available toolboxes in MATLAB environment.
