Learning Outcomes

KNOWLEDGE: Students will be able to describe and explain the topics listed in the 'content' section. SKILLS: Students will be able to solve linear and non-linear problems using the methods of applied mathematics, use standard software, and write scientific texts. ABILITIES: Students will be able to create their own mathematical programs in order to empirically evaluate short and long term trends in a case study of one of the application areas (i.a. electricity, gas, coal, CO2, transportation, water).

Content

– Introduction to the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) – Repetition: linear programming – Introduction to game theory – Lagrange-method for solving optimization problems – Flow theory – Equilibrium/complementarity modeling using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions – Mixed integer programming – GAMS/Excel-Interface

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The module is taught as integrated classroom learning in weekly 4-hour blocks in the summer semester and as two-week block seminar in the first weeks of January in the winter semester. The course combines theoretical approaches and methods from the field of operations research with application to network industries. Students will, in addition, prepare and present a term paper in small groups of four students, applying the theoretical knowledge to a current topic in network industries.
