Learning outcomes
The course aims to introduce the basics of mathematical programming, in order to develop modeling skills to formulate and solve complex real problems in both deterministic and probabilistic domains. The course will cover topics of integer and continuous linear programming, also providing good knowledge in the field of stochastic programming and robust optimization, as methods in the field of decision theory. The lectures will focus on the computational aspects of the different approaches, as well as on the respective modeling and application features in concrete areas.
At the end of the course the student has to show to have acquired the following skills:
● ability to deal with modeling, optimization and decision-making problems
● ability to develop computational tools for the application of theoretical solutions in the field of optimization of, e.g., routing, industrial production and financial processes
● ability to use specific software solutions to solve mathematical formulations, e.g., Gurobi, Cplex
Program
Linear Programming: basic concepts and modeling techniques.
Integer Linear Programming: basic concepts and modeling techniques.
Solution approaches for optimization problems: Metaheuristics (ALNS, Kernel Search, Tabu Search, VNS) and basic notions of exact algorithms (Branch & Bound, Cutting Planes, Branch & Cut).
Stochastic Programming and basic notions of other paradigms for decision-making under uncertainty.
Examination Methods
The exam is made of 2 parts.
The first part is a written test, with 2 open questions and 1 exercise.
The second part consists of a group project and a presentation of a scientific paper, to be done during the course.
The final mark is given by the average of the marks obtained in the two parts.
