Optimisation III (3V, 1Ü) Prof. Wachsmuth, Harder

Contents

In this course, theory and methods for constrained optimisation problems are taught. In particular, we deal with the following points:

  • Existence and uniqueness of solutions
  • Optimality conditions
  • Theory and implementation of the methods

Associated module: 11428

Prior knowledge

Basic knowledge of analysis, linear algebra and optimisation (e.g. to the extent of the modules Optimisation I or Optimisation II).

Examination

In order to take a module examination, an oral examination will take place after the lecture period.

Supplementary literature

The following books are a good supplement to the lecture, in particular they also contain many exercises and further material. Within the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg they are partly available free of charge as e-books (see links) and partly available in the library.
