Colloquium

CNLS Ulam Scholar Virtual Lecture Series | Numerical Nonlinear Optimization - Lecture 2

Andreas Wächter
CNLS 2019-2020 Ulam Scholar & Northwestern University

This short series of lectures gives an overview of the most-commonly used numerical algorithms for unconstrained and constrained optimization over continuous variables. This includes line-search and trust-region methods, quasi-Newton methods, active-sets method for quadratic programming, sequential-quadratic programming, and interior point methods. The goal is to give some intuitive understanding of the methods without diving deep into theory.
