Methods of Optimization with applications in mechatronic systems. This course is focused on the basic methods of linear and nonlinear constrained optimization and their application for design and validation of mechatronic systems. Contents: linear programming: simplex method; duality principle; unconstrained nonlinear problems: basic descent method, conjugate direction method, quasi-Newton methods; constrained nonlinear problems: constraints, primal methods, penalty and barrier methods, Lagrange methods. The course consists of two hours of lecture and one hour of practical work. Students will be introduced in the use of standard optimization software (Matlab, NAG) for the solution of design and validation problems related to mechatronic systems. |
