Non-linear optimization with applications
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course treats theory and algorithms for non-linear optimisation based on problems that arise in operations research and in technical, scientific, and financial applications. Problem formulations with and without constraints are discussed.
The course comprises two components:
Component 1: Theory (5 ECTS cr)
Component 2: Practice (2.5 ECTS cr)
Instruction is mainly in the form of lectures. In addition to the scheduled activities, students work with individual hand-in assignments, which primarily involve practical problem-solving tasks.
