DYNAMIC PROCESS OPTIMIZATION
A Tutorial Course on Nonlinear Optimization and Optimal Control
Optimization plays a crucial role in the design of industrial processes, due to
the desire to save valuable resources, meet ambitious production goals, and
achieve the best possible profit margins. Often the processes under
consideration are nonlinear and dynamic by nature, and complex dynamic
optimization or optimal control problems need to be formulated and
solved. Recent years have seen rapid progress in this area, both algorithmically
and in terms of solvable applications.
The aim of the workshop is to give a tutorial introduction into state-of-the-art
techniques for the solution of nonlinear optimal control problems. We also
discuss the latest application examples from academia and industry to illustrate
the practical potential of current dynamic optimization algorithms.
Please note: the computer course on October, 9th, has been cancelled.
