Synopsis:

The aim of this course is to provide students with a knowledge of the selected models for economics decision. We focus on dynamic programming, queuing theory, solution of linear and nonlinear models.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Dynamic programming: problem of optimal division of resources, problem of backpack

2. Dynamic programming: storage optimization

3. Dynamic programming: device recovery issues

4. Stochastic models of economic processes: recovery models

5. Mass operation models: introduction, classification, possibilities of use

6. Mass handling models: M/M/1 and their applications

7. Mass handling models: multiplication and death processes, M/M/C and their applications

8. Multi-criteria decision making: basic concepts and methods

9. Basic concepts of problem solving LP: graphical solution, simplex method-principle

10. Possibilities of solving LP problems in Excel

11. Solution of nonlinear problems: basic principles and concepts

12. Solution of nonlinear problems: one-dimensional optimization, golden section method, quadratic interpolation method

13. Solution of nonlinear problems: gradient method with long and short step
