Aims

The aim of this module is to equip you with the tools to formulate and solve general constrained and unconstrained optimisation problems. The module covers several introductory topics in optimisation such as necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality, basic optimization algorithms (gradient, Newton, conjugate directions, quasi-Newton), Kuhn-Tucker conditions, penalty method, recursive quadratic programming, and global optimization. Each topic is covered in a mathematical rigorous way with attention to regularity, convergence conditions, and complexity.  

The module assumes prior basic calculus and linear algebra knowledge such as multivariable calculus, sequences, compactness, and eigenvalues.
