Continuous optimization

This course introduces students to continuous, nonlinear optimization. We study the theory of optimization with continuous variables (with full proofs), and we analyze and implement important algorithms to solve constrained and unconstrained problems.

Optimization on manifolds

We develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemannian geometry (with a focus dictated by computational concerns). We also discuss several applications
