Nonlinear optimization, equations and least squares
This course is given every year since 2000. Till now it was recommended by
LiTH Forskarutbildningsnämnden as
"Fakultetsgemensamma forskarutbildningskursen". The
course starts on January 20, 2021, and it will take about 16-17 weeks
(one seminar per week on Wednesdays 15-17). Each topic is covered
twice - first by the lecturer, then at the next meeting by a couple of
students. Their presentation is followed by discussions.
The main topics:
- unconstrained optimization,
- constrained optimization,
- systems of simultaneous nonlinear equations,
- nonlinear least squares.
Students
will
get acquaintance with the most effective numerical methods in
nonlinear optimization, equations and least squares, many of which
have been developed only in recent years. The course responds to the
growing interest in optimization in engineering, science, and business
by focusing on the methods that are best suited to practical problems.
Students background - basic courses in:
- calculus,
- numerical linear algebra,
- optimization.
Any
gap
in the background can be closed by students at the beginning of the
course by intensive self-study with a help of the lecturer.
