Dersin Tanımı

Introduction to mathematical programming, also known as mathematical optimization, with an emphasis on modeling and linear deterministic models. We will explore solution procedures and algorithms such as simplex method and interior point algorithms. Topics covered include duality, sensitivity analysis, integer programming and decomposition. Applications relate to design and analysis of problems such as production, inventory control, assembly line balancing, routing, scheduling, healthcare, military and transportation. As a supporting theme, the course will also emphasize effective modeling techniques, and the assignments will require the use of state-of-the-art optimization software.
