Linear & Non-Linear Programming & Optimization

Using GAMS

4-Days Online Workshop

11-12, 18-19 May 2024

Workshop Description:

This workshop provides a comprehensive exploration of optimization techniques and their wide-ranging applications across various fields, including Engineering, Economics, Business, and more.

It covers the fundamentals of optimization, encompassing unconstrained optimization,
linear programming, integer programming, nonlinear programming, and sensitivity analysis. Practical experience is a key component as learners gain hands-on skills using the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) to model and solve optimization problems, enabling them to interpret results effectively.

For learners navigating complex design problems, this course offers a deep understanding of both theory and practical application in the realm of engineering optimization. Topics include formulating optimization problems, interpreting results, conducting sensitivity analysis, exploring cost functions, evaluating figures of merit, comparing optimization techniques, and recognizing multi-objective optimization challenges.
