ECTS : 3

Volume horaire : 15

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This course delves into the realm of Mathematical Programming, exploring its applications in solving real-world problems across diverse domains. Various concrete problems find formulation through linear and integer linear programming. The primary objective of this module is to scrutinize the modeling and resolution methods for such problems, grounded in linear programming and integer programming. Here is a possible list of contents, which might change according to the current trends or the lecturer's inclinations.

Ingredients of combinatorial optimization
Linear programming
Solution methods: Graphical solution, Simplex algorithm
Duality
Integer programming
Solution methods: Branch-and-Bound, Cutting planes, Branch-and-Cut
Perfect formulations

Many problems arising from different domains can be formulated as linear and integer programs. The aim of this course is to study the modeling and resolution techniques for these problems, based on linear and integer programming. We will introduce the main theoretical and algorithmic tools necessary for understanding and applying these techniques. We will also present some real applications to illustrate the algorithms that will be discussed.

Compétence à acquérir :

At the end of this course, students will have developed expertise in modeling and solving real-world and combinatorial optimization problems through mathematical programming. They will be able to formulate and solve concrete challenges using methods such as linear programming and integer programming, as well as advanced optimization techniques.

Mode de contrôle des connaissances :
