Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Basic concepts of continuous optimisation, steepest descent, line search algorithms, higher order methods (Newton, Quasi-Newton, Trust Region), constrained optimisation, interior point methods; if enough time is left non-smooth optimisation

Assessment and permitted materials

Oral exam, by appointment

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

This course intends to serve as a introduction into the methods of continuous optimization

Examination topics

Most of the course will be held as a typical lecture, additionally, we will discuss how to implement the proposed methods in Matlab.
