Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of the course is to get aware of common combinatorial optimization problems arising in the field of operations research and how to solve them. We will consider exact and heuristic solution methods for these problems: branch-and-bound methods, greedy algorithms, local search, simulated annealing, variable neighborhood search, genetic algorithms, dynamic programming. Finally, we will also cover optimization problems with multiple objectives.

Assessment and permitted materials

There is NO compulsory attendance at the lectures.
At the beginning of (most of) the lectures students can volunteer to present their solutions to exercises prepared at home. At the end of the term there will be an (optional) oral exam in case the exercise presentations have not been sufficient or satisfactory. All supporting materials are allowed.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Each student has to do at least two exercise presentations (in at least two different topics) in a satisfactory quality. If at the end of the course this goal is not reached there is the optional possibility of attending an oral exam.

Examination topics

All topics covered in the lecture.

Reading list

All necessary material or references to external literature will be made available in moodle.
