Lectures:


Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

Knowledge in linear and combinatorial optimization, discrete optimization I

Inhalt:

In this lecture we cover theoretical aspects and solution strategies for difficult integer and mixed-integer optimization problems. First, we point out the equivalence between separation and optimization. Second, fundamental results of integral polyhedra, lattices and lattice polyhedra as well as its importance to discrete optimization are discussed. Furthermore, we introduce solution strategies for large-scale optimization problems, e.g., decomposition methods or approximation algorithms and heuristics based on linearprogramming. In addition, we discuss applications arising in engineering, finance, energymanagement or public transport.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students

  • use basic terms of discrete optimization,

  • model real-world discrete optimization problems, determine their complexity and solve them with appropriate mathematical methods.
