Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of the course is to get acquainted with the basic concepts in the areas combinatorial optimization, dynamic optimization, and multicriteria decision analysis. Mathematical representations of important problem types (usually based on linear programming formulations) are introduced, and solution techniques are outlined. We shall discuss exact as well as heuristic solution methods. Among others, we will consider branch-and-bound methods, greedy algorithms, local search, simulated annealing, variable neighborhood search, genetic algorithms, dynamic programming, and epsilon-constraint methods.
Assessment and permitted materials
Participants will be provided with a collection of exercise examples. Each week, the participants can send solved exercises to the lecturer by e-mail; some of the submitted exercises are selected then for presentation in the course.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Each student has to give at least three exercise presentations during the videomeetings. A larger number of presentations improves the grade. An exact scheme assigning received points for presentations to grades will be announced in time.
Examination topics
All topics covered in the course.
Reading list
Necessary material (including a collection of exercises) will be made available to the participants by Moodle.
