Abstract

This course aims to present methods commonly used when it comes to optimize a function on some discrete space. After a brief introduction, we shall approach the Linear Programming as a all-around tool to model a wide set of problems. We also focus on Dynamic Programming as a technique for designing efficient algorithms. Integer Programming revolves around specific techniques when Linear Program require integrality of variables. Finally we'll consider some usual heuristics when nothing works.
