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.
