Possible topics are for example:
- Optimization problems with differential equations (parameter estimation, optimal experimental design, process optimization)
- Direct methods of optimal control in ODE and DAE (boundary value problem approach, structure-utilizing Gauss-Newton and SQP methods, local convergence sets of Newton-like methods, efficient globalization strategies, efficient generation of required derivatives)
- Combinatorial optimization (minimal exciting trees and shortest path problems, flow problems, matchings, exact general solution methods, integer optimization)
- Optimal control (Ordinary differential equations, stability theory, maximum principle, numerical methods, applications to economic and scientific processes)
- Non-differentiable optimization

Qualification Goals
The students shall
- be introduced to current research results from the field of optimization,
- train working with research literature,
- gain insight into the development of new mathematical results,
- deepen their mathematical knowledge in the field of optimization,
- acquire the competence to independently index current scientific contributions from national and international journals,
- practice mathematical methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof methods),
- improve their oral communication skills in the recitation classes by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen sowie im Aufbaumodul Optimierung vermittelt werden. Abhängig von der Veranstaltung können weitere Kompetenzen empfohlen werden.
