Syllabus
Mathematical modeling of combinatorial optimization problems, in the realm of areas such as Biology, Networks, time-dependent processes, resources allocation, game theory, etc. Study of techniques to tackle such problems, as branch and bound, heuristics, probabilistic techniques. Exploiting the limitations of these techniques and case study of resent developments. Dynamic programming and approximation algorithms. Polynomial time approximation schemes. Local search methods, PLS- -completeness, neighborhood structures. Local search methods in the perspective of game theory.
Learning Outcomes
When the student completes the course successfully:
- She will have the knowledge to model as a linear/convex program some of the most important problems of the combinatorial optimization.
- She will have the skills to apply techniques and algorithms that solve linear/convex programs.
- She will have the capability to solve problems of linear/convex programming.
