Description: Linear and integer programming involve formulating and solving fundamental optimization models widely used in practice. This course introduces the basic theory, algorithms, and software of linear and integer programming. Topics studied in the linear programming part include polyhedron concepts, simplex methods, duality, sensitivity analysis and decomposition techniques. Building on linear programming, the second part of this course introduces modeling with integer variables and solution methodologies in integer programming including branch-and-bound and cutting-plane techniques. This course will provide a basis for further studies in convex and combinatorial optimization. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: CAAM 571. Recommended Prerequisite(s): CAAM 335 and CAAM 378 Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for CAAM 471 if student has credit for CAAM 571.
