Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Study practically relevant aspects of operations research including in particular the consideration of uncertain input data (stochastic optimization, robust optimization)

The main themes are discussed first in form of a lecture. Homeworks then give the opportunity to apply and deepen the teaching material.

Assessment and permitted materials

written exam, blackboard exercises

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

This course should help graduate students to:
a) develop mathematical models for (real world) optimization problems
b) apply different concepts to treat uncertain input data in optimization and understand the consequences implied by choosing on of these techniques

The test measures the ability to solve simple examples in the dicussed fields.

Examination topics

1) Single stage stochastic optmization, in particular mean-variance optimization, expected utility, acceptability measures
2) Mixed Integer Optimization
3) Recourse problems
4) Markov chains
5) Markov decision processes
