Applications theory and computational methods in pure and mixed integer programming. Special problem structures. Nonlinear programming techniques for the case that the primary constraints are varying fidelity simulations of complex systems. Nonlinear programming approaches studied will include very large scale trust-region sequential quadratic programming techniques. This case-based course will focus on incidents and issues commonly encountered in the preparation, conduct, and reporting of scientific research.
