- Synopsis:
-
The course provides an introduction to mathematical optimization, specifically to optimization in real vector spaces of finite dimension. The theory is illustrated with a number of examples. You will refresh and extend many topics that you know from linear algebra and calculus courses.
- Requirements:
-
Linear algebra. Calculus, including intro to multivariate calculus. Recommended are numerical algorithms and probability and statistics.
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1. General problem of continuous optimization.
2. Over-determined linear systems, method of least squares.
3. Minimization of quadratic functions.
4. Using SVD in optimization.
5. Algorithms for free local extrema (gradient, Newton, Gauss-Newton, Levenberg-Marquardt methods).
6. Linear programming.
7. Simplex method.
8. Convex sets and polyhedra. Convex functions.
9. Intro to convex optimization.
10. Lagrange formalism, KKT conditions.
11. Lagrange duality. Duality in linear programming.
12. Examples of non-convex problems.
13. Intro to multicriteria optimization.
- Syllabus of tutorials:
-
At seminars, students exercise the theory by solving problems together using blackboard and solve optimization problems in Matlab as homeworks.
- Study Objective:
-
The aim of the course is to teach students to recognize optimization problems around them, formulate them mathematically, estimate their level of difficulty, and solve easier problems.
- Study materials:
-
Basic:
Online lecture notes Tomáš Werner: Optimalizace (see www pages of the course).
