| Aims |
|
Getting to know some significant numerical methods for solving the optimization problems. |
| Content |
|
1. Numerical methods to minimize the unimodal functions.
2. Numerical methods to minimize the unconstrained function: decreasing methods, conjugated directions methods, relaxation methods, methods whithout the hypothesis of differentiability. 3. Numerical methods with feasible directions, 4 .Numerical methods based on reducing constrained problems to unconstrained ones 5. Cutting methods, 6. Inner point methods 7. Branch and bound methods. 8. Specific methods to solve fractional, hyperbolic and quadratic programming problems are studied, too. 9. Methods to solve liniar optimisation problems: simplex methods, Hacian's method, Karmarkar's method. |
