MATH 443 - Mathematical Modeling and Optimization


Investigation of differential equation and/or discrete optimization models of physical, social, biological phenomena and large economic systems by qualitative analysis. Optimal criteria incorporated to convert models to optimal control problems. Pontriagin's maximal principle used to find analytic solutions. Numerical solutions to optimal control problems also treated. Discrete optimization includes topics from linear and integer programming, network algorithms and their analysis.
