Kurzfassung:

Theory and numerical methods for nonlinear optimization problems for real variables without and with constraints are discussed.

Lernziele:

The students know the fundamental theoretical results for nonlinear constrained and unconstrained optimization problems in real variables. They are able to analyze problems, to select and implement algorithms. They are able to present results, analyze them and draw conclusions w.r.t. performance and quality improvement. An additional focus is on theoretical aspects of numerical optimization methods, e.g. the proofs of important theorems or results.
