Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course covers the material of the course "Opimization". A good knowledge of optimization is essential for the Master's program.

Prerequisites: Math I and II, Microeconomics I

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Examination topics

Reading list

Following the book "A First Course in Optimization Theory" by R.K. Sundaram (Cambridge University Press, 1996) we discuss the basics of optimization, the Theorem of Weierstrass, the Lagrange method and the Theorem of Kuhn and Tucker. Later on we study correspondences (set-valued functions) and, Berge's Theorem of the Maximum. The book discusses many economic problems which can be solved using these methods. The course will consist of lectures and problem sessions.
