The teaching introduces the main optimization problems (constrained, unconstrained, convex) and illustrates their main solving techniques, with the aim of initiating the student into their use in the various fields of electrical engineering.
The aim of the teaching unit is to introduce the basic principles and methods of resolution for optimization problems. Different classes of optimization problems will be considered: (1) unconstrained optimization, (2) constrained optimization, (3) convex optimization, (4) linear programming, (5) quadratic optimization problems, (6) nonlinear problems, (7) mixed-integer programming. Then, the resolution methods will be introduced and the a specific software tool able to solve optimization problems will be described. Once the teaching unit is completed, students will be able to recognize the class of an optimization problem and to identify and implement its resolution.
The lessons are equally divided into:
Students with valid certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs), disabilities or other educational needs are invited to contact the teacher and the School's contact person for disability at the beginning of teaching to agree on possible teaching arrangements that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning patterns. Contacts of the School's disability contact person can be found at the following link Comitato di Ateneo per l’inclusione delle studentesse e degli studenti con disabilità o con DSA | UniGe | Università di Genova
Ricevimento: Student office hours are available by appointment, to be arranged via email. The contact details of the professor are as follows: Prof. Matteo Saviozzi Dipartimento DITEN Via Opera Pia 11 A matteo.saviozzi@unige.it

Oral exam.
Verification of the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge of the calculation methodologies in a software environment related to the optimization problems addressed in the lessons. The oral exam will verify the student's ability to reproduce and discuss the theoretical and applied methods covered during the course. The quality of the presentation and the correct use of specialized terminology will also be evaluated, as well as the student's reasoning ability, autonomy, and recall of the previously defined cultural prerequisites.
Ask the professor for other information not included in the teaching schedule.
