MATH 216 - Nonlinear Optimization


Semester Hours: 3
Nonlinear optimization problems are classified, and algorithms are surveyed. These include Newton’s method, gradient method, and variants for unconstrained optimization, Lagrange multiplier method, feasible point methods, and penalty/barrier methods for constrained optimization. Convexity of functions and domains, linear and nonlinear constraints, is discussed to ascertain the algorithms’ applicability. Applications will be presented.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
MATH 215  or MATH 228 . Course open to graduate students in Computer Science/Data Science, others need permission from computer science graduate director.
