OPTIMIZATION_PROJECT

Overview

This project explores and implements advanced optimization techniques to solve complex real-world problems. The repository includes a suite of algorithms, methodologies, and experiments focused on achieving efficient and robust solutions. The main code and experiments are documented in final_project.ipynb.

Methodologies

  • Mathematical Modeling: Problems are formulated using mathematical models to define constraints and objectives precisely.
  • Linear Programming (LP): Techniques such as the Simplex method are applied to solve problems with linear constraints and objectives.
  • Nonlinear Programming (NLP): Algorithms for handling nonlinear relationships are implemented for more complex scenarios.
  • Metaheuristics: Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing are used for optimization problems where classical methods are insufficient or impractical.
  • Gradient-Based Optimization: Methods like Gradient Descent are employed for continuous optimization tasks.
  • Constraint Handling: Specialized approaches are used to manage equality and inequality constraints within optimization problems.
  • Data Preprocessing and Analysis: Input data is cleaned, normalized, and analyzed to ensure high-quality results.
  • Simulation and Validation: Solutions are validated through simulation to assess their performance under various scenarios.
  • Visualization: Results are visualized using plots and charts to facilitate analysis and interpretation.

Features

  • Modular codebase for easy extension and experimentation
  • Well-documented code and notebooks for clarity
  • Visualization tools for analyzing optimization results
  • Benchmarking against standard datasets and test cases
