    Course Objectives The aim of this course is to introduce iterative solutions to optimization problems encountered in engineering. Topics include vector spaces, projection theorem, orthogonal functions and least squares approach, unconstrained optimization, gradient methods, constrained optimization, linear and nonlinear optimization. All methods discussed in the course will be reinforced by homeworks and MATLAB applications.
    Learning Outcomes

    The students who succeeded in this course;

    • explain the basic optimization problem,
    • apply iterative methods for unconstrained optimization,
    • define analytical and iterative solutions of equality constrained optimization,
    • explain linear programming methods,
    • analyze nonlinear optimization problems.
    Course Description In this course, various analytic and iterative optimization methods will be introduced to determine the "best" or "most desired" solution to the problems encountered in Engineering. The most commonly used optimization methods will be presented with computer solutions to problems in electrical engineering. Programs will be developed for iterative solution of optimization methods using MATLAB platform.
