Advanced lecture on exact optimization algorithms based on Linear Programming and Convex Optimization for solving real-life problems.
Aim of the course -
Last update: RNDr. Jakub Bulín, Ph.D. (13.05.2022)

Understand the main principles of various exact optimization methods based on linear programming and combinatorial optimization with emphasis on large-scale instances. Learn how to apply these methods in practice.

Course completion requirements -
Last update: RNDr. Jakub Bulín, Ph.D. (13.05.2022)

Students are expected to implement practical homework assignments and pass theoretical examination. The nature of homework assignments excludes the possibility of repeated attempts to get credit.

  • Linear programming, duality, complementary slackness
  • Integer linear programming, Branch and bound
  • Gomory-Chvátal cutting plane, lazy constraint
  • Column generation, Dantzig-Wolve decomposition
  • Lagrange relaxation
  • Multi-objective optimization, Pareto optimality
