AØKA08025U Operation Research CANCELED Autumn 2015 and Spring 2016
Elective from the 2.year of BSc in Economics
Elective at MSc in Economics
The course is a traditional introduction to Operations Research.
We start with general aspects of modeling followed by the main
modeling family: Linear Programming. We include the Simplex
algorithm as well as sensitivity analysis and duality. We consider
special LP's such as transportation problems and various
network models. We then move on to integer programming and dynamic
programming. Finally, simple stochastic models for inventories and
queues are considered.
While the course in many cases includes the theoretical background
for the models, high emphasis is put on modeling of cases and
examples.
