Workshop: Optimization Methods in Matlab

This workshop introduces applied optimization in the Matlab environment, focusing on using Optimization Toolbox and Global Optimization Toolbox. We will cover multiple topics: running optimization problems in Matlab, specifying objective functions, specifying constraints, choosing solvers and algorithms, evaluating results and improving performance, using global optimization methods.

Matlab is available to UVA affiliated researchers. Experience with Matlab at the level of Matlab Fundamentals is recommended. Please bring a laptop in order to participate.
