[Solved] BME411 Assignment 3

For this assignment:

• You should select a technique from the following areas of optimization.
• Study the selected technique by reviewing related reference materials and understand its theory, working principles, and advantages/disadvantages.
• Create your own computer program to implement the selected technique.
• Solve few examples by your choice using the devised code.
• Compare the numerical results for your examples with another (rival) technique by your choice implemented in a computer program or software package.
• Finally, a report along with the devised code should be submitted.

Areas of Optimization:

• Numerical Methods for Constrained Optimization (including but not limited to Sequential Quadratic Programming, Interior-point Method, Generalized Reduced Gradient Method, Gradient Projection Method, Active Set Methods)
• Multi-Objective Optimization (including but not limited to Weighted Sum Approach, Lexicographic Method)
• Modern Optimization Methods (including but not limited to Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing)
• Dynamic Programming
• Integer Programming (including but not limited to Branch-and-Bound Method)
• Stochastic Programming (including but not limited to Chance-Constrained Programming)
• Linear Programing (Interior-point Methods)

Important Notes:

• The selected technique should be different from those optimization methods used in your group project.
• It is essential that all of the sections of the submitted report and code are your own individual and original work. You should also cite any reference materials that you have used.
