Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE COURSE AIMS TO DEEPEN AND BROADEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF INTEGER LINEAR PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS, INTRODUCED IN THE OPERATIONS RESEARCH COURSE. THE COURSE AIMS AT SHOWING HOW TO SOLVE LINEAR PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS WITH A HUGE NUMBER OF VARIABLES OR CONSTRAINTS. MIXED LINEAR INTEGER PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS ARE ALSO OBJECT OF THE COURSE THAT AIMS TO DEEPEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF
MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS AND OF EXACT AND APPROXIMATION ALGORITHMS TO SOLVE THEM.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE AND TO FORMULATE LINEAR OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS AND MIXED INTEGER LINEAR OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS. KNOWLEDGE OF THE MATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES OF THE PROBLEMS AND OF THEIR INHERENT COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY. KNOWLEDGE OF THE MOST RECENT AND EFFICIENT ALGORITHMS FOR THE EXACT SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEMS OF PLI. KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN ELEMENTS FOR SOLVING LARGE PROBLEMS: CALCULATION OF LOWER BOUND AND DESIGN OF HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS.
Prerequisites
STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW BASIC CONCEPTS OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH.
