Course contents
Integer and Linear Programing in Business Econometrics (Bedrijfseconometrie I):
This course focusses on the optimization of linear and integer programming models.
Starting from the mathematical properties of the models explains the working of powerful solutions
techniques which are illustrated with the use of Matlab.
Illustrations include the usage of linear programming solvers to build powerful algorithms for more
challenging problems.
The book ‘Integer Programming: Polyhedra and Algorithms’ by Sven O. Krumke which can be found
online from http://optimierung.mathematik.uni-kl.de/users/62/TOC.pdf offers a good base for this
course.
