Danish title: Netværk og heltalsprogrammering
Language:  English    ECTS-creditpoints:  10, External examination.   
Type:  civil engineering course, open university
Class schedule:   F3
Exam schedule:   F3-A (May 31 2002)
Recommended semester:  4th -7th semester
Scope and form:  Lectures, exercises and project work.
Evaluation:  Oral exam and approval of reports
Report (50%) and oral exam (50%).
Examination:  13-scale
Previous course:  04232
Prerequisites:   Introductory operations research.
Aim:  To give students a thorough introduction to formulating and solving network and integer programming problems arising in areas like traffic, transportation, investment, and production planning. Participants are enabled to formulate network and integer programming problems and to apply several simpler optimization methods on them.
Contents:  Linear programming on graphs: review of relevant graph theory. Algorithms for shortest paths, maximal flows in capacitated networks, and minimal cost flows. Planning networks: PERT and
deterministic planning networks. Integer programming: Branch & Bound, Cutting planes, Branch & Cut, Lagrange relaxation. Application examples: project planning, vehicle routing, and production planning.
