GEOPH 697

Spring Semester 2005

New Course Offering!

 

Optimization Methods

This course is for graduate students in science and engineering. In this course we will look at numerical methods to solve optimization / inverse problems. The theme will be based on Newton-type approach for both unconstrained and constrained optimization. We will look at some of the recent advancements in this area especially with focus on nonlinear problems. The course will be a mix of continuous and discrete problems solved using appropriate numerical tools with more emphasis on the continuous part. Ability to solve large scale problem efficiently will be an important part of this course. We will also look at global optimization methods and their applications.  (3 credit)
