Title: Integer programming - Advanced topics and non-standard techniques

Type: Seminar (2 SWS)

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Andreas Bly

Maximum Number of Participants: max 14

Dates: Block course, exact date TBA

Place: TBA

Min requirements: ADM 1 (Basic knowledge in linear and integer optimization)

Abstract: 

We address several fundamental, advanced and (from a computational perspective) non-standard aspects and solution approaches for integer programs (lattice and geometry based techniques, algebraic aspects, etc.), as well as specialized techniques to address specific classes of integer program in practice (reformulation techniques, model (dis-)aggregation, symmetry, and more).

Each participant will present a lecture and a written exposé (only master and diploma students) on a selected topic. Topics will be assigned at the beginning of the summer term. Interested students can pre-register via email.

Date for assignment of topics: April 16, 2013, 16:15, MA 517

Criteria for the "Seminarschein":

• Lecture and presentation of the topic
• Written exposé (master and diploma students only)
• Mandatory meeting with supervisor at least 2 weeks before the seminar with at least 3 questions related to topic
