Optimization: principles and algorithms - Network and discrete optimization
About this Course
Introduction to the mathematical concept of networks, and to two important optimization problems on networks: the transshipment problem and the shortest path problem. Short introduction to the modeling power of discrete optimization, with reference to classical problems. Introduction to the branch and bound algorithm, and the concept of cuts.Created by: École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne
