Catalog Description
433 Introduction to Optimization Methods. (Crosslisted with Comp Sci 433.) 3 cr. Numerical problems selected from: unconstrained nonlinear optimization (functions of a single variable, functions of n-variables) with applications to nonlinear least squares; geometric programming as illustrated by an engineering application; integer programming as an approach to facilities location; linear and dynamic programming as applied section and one-dimensional optimization methods based on polynomials, the secant method, Newton's method, penalty functions, geometric programming, branch and bound, the simplex method, and dynamic programming. Emphasis on implementability of methods, rates of convergence, and reliability. P: Math 223.
