ZEIT4700 – S1, 2014 Mathematical Modeling and Optimization School of Engineering and Information Technology
Mathematical Modeling Definition / Purpose Significance in Optimization Design of Experiments
Optimization - basics What is Optimization ? Why/when is it needed (or not) ? How to define an optimization problem ?
Optimization – types / classification Single-objective / multi-objective Unimodal / multi-modal Single / multi - variable Discrete / continuous / mixed variables Constrained / unconstrained Deterministic / Robust Single / multi-disciplinary
Optimization - methods Classical • Gradient based • Simplex Heuristic / metaheuristics • Evolutionary Algorithms • Simulated Annealing • Ant Colony Optimization • Particle Swarm Optimization . .
Approximations • Surrogate Models / Meta-models • Meta-modelling techniques
Robust optimization Formulation Uncertainty Quantification Search algorithms
