    Course Objectives The aim of this course is to develop knowledge of different theoretical aspects of nonlinear programming and convex optimization and to give graduate and PhD students the theoretical background on convex analysis and on the theory of optimality conditions, and to provide them with a foundation sufficient to use basic optimization in their own research work and/or to pursue more specialized studies involving optimization theory.
    Learning Outcomes

    The students who succeeded in this course;

    • Will be able to interpret convex sets and convex functions
    • Will be able to analyze extreme points and extreme directions of convex sets
    • Will be able to analyze some topological properties of convex sets and convex functions
    • Will be able to use the concept of convexity in the analysis of nonlinear programming problems
    • Will be able to interpret optimality conditions for nonlinear programming problems
    Course Description The course emphasizes the unifying themes such that convex sets and convex functions, their topological properties, separation theorems and optimality conditions for convex optimization problems.
