LEARNING OUTCOMES
After successfully completing this course, the students will:
- Understand the basic concepts of optimization, implementation, and solution approaches.
- Formulate their ideas and decide which model is the most computationally efficient way.
- Recast their original model into LP, MILP, or convex models, if required.
- How to struggle with the operating and planning problems and make their model as solver-friendly as possible.
- Understand the basic concept of convex optimization, check the convexity of a model, and how to convexify a non-convex model.
- Consider the existing uncertainties in the model via stochastic or robust programming approaches.
- How to interpret the outcomes of the models.
