The course will be held by prof. Valentina Cacchiani and is part of the training provided for IBES PhD Students (a.y.2025/2026) within the Automatic Control and Operations Research (ARO) curriculum.
Date:
Event location: Room 5.5 - Viale Risorgimento, 2 - Bologna
Type: IBES Course
ABSTRACT
The course focuses on optimization problems having particular relevance either from a theoretical or from an application viewpoint. Some of the computationally most effective techniques for solving these problems will be introduced, e.g.: mathematical modelling and use of a general-purpose solver; the definition of relaxations of the problem; dynamic programming; the use of branch-and-bound, branch-and-cut or branch-and-price exact methods; the use of heuristic, metaheuristic or math-heuristic algorithms. For the proposed techniques, design and implementation issues will be discussed.
This course is part of the IBES training activities for the a.y. 2025/2026.
