Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students will be introduced and traines for some fundamental skills for solving convex optimization problems. They will be introduced to duality theory and optimality conditions. They will build a background required to use the convex optimization methods and numerical algorithms in their own research or engineering work. They will be also  provided with a number of examples of successful application of convex optimization techniques in engineering, science, and economics.
