OptimisationTeachingKit

This teaching kit contains a complete exercise book about many discrete optimisation topics:

• Julia programming
• mixed-integer linear optimisation:
  • modelling
  • comparing formulations
  • solving by branch and bound
  • solving by cutting planes
  • solving by Lagrangian relaxation
• combinatorial optimisation:
  • dynamic algorithms
  • constraint programming
• polynomially-solvable problems:
  • flows
  • matchings

It is distributed as a LyX file (using branches to distinguish the exercises, hints for the students, and complete worked-out solutions), with figures (in the book folder) and Julia source code (in the examples_julia folder). Have a look at the current version!

How to contribute?

Any kind of contribution is welcome. For example:

• new exercises (at least including the final solution, preferrably completely worked out), both for existing and new topics
• new code examples (in Julia or any other programming language)
• rewording, links towards literature and other references

For now, the book is useable, but can be perfected in many places.
