The first lecture will take place on Friday, October 22, 2021, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm (Neuer Chemie Hörsaal). In the winter term 2021/2022, the ODS lecture will be offered in a hybrid format, i. e. in presence in the lecture hall and a complimentary live stream via Zoom. For attending the lecture in the lecture hall, the 3G regulations apply and it is necessary to wear a face mask at all times (medical mask or FFP2 mask). Access to the lecture hall is not granted without an official 3G proof (daily test, vaccination or recovery certificate) and without a face mask.

Goals

The students
 

• know the mathematical basics and the fundamental methods and algorithms to solve constrained and unconstrained nonlinear static optimization problems.
• can solve constraint and unconstraint dynamic optimization by using the calculus of variations approach and the Dynamic Programming method.
• are able to transfer dynamic optimization problems to static problems.
• know the mathematic relations, the pros and cons and the limits of each optimization method.
• can transfer problems from other fields of their studies in a suitable optimization problem formulation and they are able to select and implement appropriate optimization algorithms for them by using common software tools
