Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course introduces students to modeling techniques in the area of linear programming. To gain a better understanding about the underlying problems and solution techniques the following topics will be discussed:

Linear Programming
Introduction to XPress-MP
Simplex Method (brief repetition)
Duality & Sensitivity Analysis & its economic interpretation
Integer Programming
Modeling Techniques

The classes will consist of a lecture part, a discussion of the homework assignments, and programming on the computers in the lab by the students.

Assessment and permitted materials

25 % homework
35 % midterm exam (closed book)
40 % final exam (closed book)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In order to pass the course (minimum requirement) students have to achieve at least 50% in total.

Examination topics

Students are expected to be able to understand, formulate and solve a variety of LP models and implement them using XpressMP. Slides will be available in Moodle.
