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
