- 1. Introduction: Modeling and optimization. Types of problems and methods, examples. Assignment of semester projects. 2. Extrema of functions of one varriable. Fibonacci method and golden section search. Secant method. Newton's method. 3. Optimization without constraints: gradient methods, Newton's method and its variants, the method of the conjugate gradient, quasi-Newton methods, comparative methods. 4. Optimization with constraints: Nonconvex and convex problems, method of Lagrange multipliers and generaliizations, penalization and barrier methods, method of projection and reduction of the gradient. 5. Linear, quadratic, and nonlinear programming. Linear problems with special structure. Duality. 6. Further practical methods: Stochastic methods, genetic algorithms, discrete methods.
