- Course Description: The course will present the theory and algorithms of integer programming, with emphasis on its applications in engineering. The tentative topics include integer programming formulation and relaxation and decomposition algorithms.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: With the advance of computing technology, we are able to solve effectively large-scale real-world optimization problems that involve discrete decisions (e.g., yes/no decisions). These problems are referred to as integer programs that arise in almost all i
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? Thie course serves as a graduate-level elective for both master and Ph.D. students in IMSE depatment. It is also expceted to serve other graduate students from CS, CivilE, and Business, just name a few.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? Yes, once.
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) A Ph.D. degree in Industrial Engineering, or in other technical disciplines such as Operations Research/Management, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science.
- Objectives: The course objective is to introduce the theory and algorithms of integer programming, with emphasis on its power and applicability for solving discrete optimization problems.
- Learning Outcomes: The students will: (1) acquire a basic understanding of integer programming techniques applied for real-world decision making problems; (2) learn basic optimization concepts in integer programming; and (3) learn computational implementation and experimentation of integer programming solution techniques.
- Major Topics: The tentative topics include MIP formulation, optimality and relaxation, Well-studied network optimization problems, branch and bound and its variations, and cutting planes.
