Course Objectives This course the third part of a three-term sequence, aims to give students the basic concepts of dynamic programming and introduces and explains the nonlinear programming, solution methods of nonlinear programming problems, metaheuristics and Markov chains, the importance and applications of those subjects are provided by the examples from the selected Industrial Engineering sources to students.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Describe characteristics of dynamic programming problems
  • Solve dynamic programming problems
  • Identify types of nonlinear programming problems
  • Use solution methods for one-variable, multi-variable unconstrained optimization
  • Specify the necessary and sufficient conditions for constrained optimization
  • Describe the basic concepts of common metaheuristics
  • Describe stochastic processes, Markov Chains and characteristics of Markov Chains
Course Description The main subjects of the course are the deterministic and probabilistic dynamic programming, nonlinear programming, metaheuristics and Markov chains.
