Course Details
• Advanced Linear and Integer Programming: This unit will cover advanced techniques in linear and integer programming, including large-scale optimization, decomposition methods, and cutting-plane algorithms. Emphasis will be placed on applying these methods to real-world problems.
• Stochastic Programming and Simulation: This unit will explore stochastic programming techniques for handling uncertainty in optimization problems. Students will learn about simulation-based optimization methods, such as Monte Carlo and importance sampling, as well as stochastic gradient descent and other optimization algorithms for noisy objectives.
• Network Flows and Graph Algorithms: This unit will introduce students to network flow problems and graph algorithms for solving them. Topics may include maximum flow, minimum cut, shortest path, and transportation problems. Real-world applications may include logistics, transportation, and communication networks.
• Decision Analysis and Utility Theory: This unit will cover decision analysis techniques for handling uncertainty and making optimal decisions in the face of risk. Topics may include decision trees, influence diagrams, and utility theory. Students will learn how to model decision problems and use decision analysis techniques to make optimal choices.
• Multi-objective Optimization and Pareto Optimality: This unit will introduce students to multi-objective optimization problems, where there are multiple conflicting objectives to be optimized simultaneously. Topics may include Pareto optimality, trade-off curves, and evolutionary algorithms for multi-objective optimization.
• Queueing Theory and Performance Modeling: This unit will cover queueing theory and performance modeling techniques for analyzing and optimizing systems with queues. Topics may include Markov chains, Little's law, and queueing networks. Real-world applications may include call centers, manufacturing systems, and computer systems.
• Inventory Management and Supply Chain Optimization: This unit will introduce students to inventory management and supply chain optimization techniques. Topics may include inventory models, safety stock, and supply chain design. Real-world applications may include inventory management for retailers, manufacturers, and distributors.
• Data-driven Optimization and Machine Learning: This unit will explore the intersection of optimization and machine learning, with a focus on data-driven optimization techniques.
