Spring 2018<\/h3>\n

Prerequisites<\/h3>\n

SE\/EC 524\/674 or consent of instructor.<\/p>\n

Description<\/h3>\n

Complements SE\/EC 524\/674 by introducing advanced optimization techniques. Emphasis on nonlinear optimization and recent developments in the field. Topics include: unconstrained optimization methods such as gradient and incremental gradient, conjugate direction, Newton and quasi-Newton methods; constrained optimization methods such as projection, feasible directions, barrier and interior point methods; duality theory and methods; convex duality; and stochastic approximation algorithms. Introduction to modern convex optimization including semi-definite programming, conic programming, and robust optimization. Applications drawn from control, production and capacity planning, resource allocation, communication and sensor networks, and bioinformatics.<\/p>\n
