- Course objectives
- Students will get basic knowledge concerning mathematical programming, numerical methods of unconstrained optimization, and also convex analysis.
- Learning outcomes
- After passing the course, the student will be able:
(1) to define and interpret the basic notions used in the basic parts of convex analysis and to explain their mutual context;
(2) to formulate relevant mathematical theorems and statements and to explain methods of their proofs;
(3) to use effective techniques utilized in basic fields of convex analysis;
(4) to apply acquired pieces of knowledge for the solution of specific problems of convex programming and to some numerical methods of optimization including problems of applicative character. - Syllabus
- I. Convex analysis: Convex sets (basic concepts, convex hull, separation and supporting hyperplanes); Convex Functions (basic concepts, criteria of convexity for differentiable functions); Subgradient and Subdifferential; Fenchel transformation; Systems of linear and convex inequalities.
- II. Numerical methods of unconstrained minimization: One-dimensional minimization (brute-force search, dichotomous search, Fibonacci and golden ratio methods); Unconstrained optimization (Method of steepest descent, Newton method, Conjugate gradient method).
- III. Mathematical programming: Lagrange principle (necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality, Kuhn-Tucker conditions, basic concepts of convex programming); Duality in mathematical programming (dual problem, Kuhn-Tucker vector, weak duality, strong duality, saddle point); Dependence on parameters (Envelope Theorem, shadow price)
