Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

Recommended: Linear and Combinatorial Optimization

Inhalt:

Theoretical and practical fundamentals of solving difficult mixed-integer linear optimization problems (MIPs) constitute the main focus of this lecture. At first, the concept of NP-completeness and a selection of common NP-complete problems will be presented. As for polyhedral theory, fundamentals concerning the structure of faces of convex polyhedra will be covered. Building upon these fundamentals, cutting plane algorithms as well as branch-and-cut algorithms for solving MIPs will be taught. Finally, some typical problems of discrete optimization, e.g., the knapsack problem, the traveling salesman problem or the set packing problem will be discussed.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
