| Course Description | The course is designed for entering doctoral students and provides a rigorous introduction to the fundamental theory of optimization. It examines optimization theory in continuous, deterministic settings, including optimization in Euclidean as well as in more general, infinite-dimensional vector spaces. The course emphasizes unifying themes (such as optimality conditions, Lagrange multipliers, convexity, duality) that are common to all of these areas of mathematical optimization. Applications across a range of problem areas serve to illustrate and motivate the theory that is developed. Additionally, review sessions explaining how to solve complex optimization problems using CVX and Python are offered. |
