Python으로 배우는 Optimization 입문

This chapter covers solving unconstrained and constrained optimization problems with differential calculus and SymPy, identifying potential pitfalls. SciPy is also introduced to solve unconstrained optimization problems, in single and multiple dimensions, numerically, with a few lines of code. The chapter goes on to solve linear programming in SciPy and PuLP.

This chapter introduces convex-constrained optimization problems with different constraints and looks at mixed integer linear programming problems, essentially linear programming problems where at least one variable is an integer.

This chapter covers finding the global optimum when multiple good solutions exist. We will conduct sensitivity analysis and learn linearization techniques that reduce non-linear problems to easily solvable ones with SciPy or PuLP. In terms of applications, we will solve an HR allocation with training costs problem and capital budgeting with dependent projects.
