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 non-linear and/or stochastic 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

– Advanced modeling with the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) – Repetition: game theory and Lagrange-method for solving optimization problems – Two-stage equilibrium/complementarity modeling – Integer optimization and algorithms – Non-linear optimization – Real option analysis – Stochastic modeling

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The module is taught as seminar in a one-week block seminar in June. 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 two students, applying the theoretical knowledge to a current topic in network industries.
