Objectives and Content
The course includes the basic framework for constructing efficient methods for solving unconstrained optimization problems. Topics include line search and trust regions methods for unconstrained optimization. Topics in constrained optimization include the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker theory and basic solution techniques.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course INF272 the candidate will have the following learning outcomes.
The candidate
