Optimisation Methods and Genetic Algorithms

(Register your interest for the next course here.)

Overview

This one course provides an insight understanding to optimisation methods for both unconstrained and constrained optimisation. Furthermore, slightly more advance optimisation methods such as the dynamic optimisation method and genetic algorithms are illustrated in this course too. Hands-on session for each topic is used to reinforce the lecture.

The Optimisation is extremely important subject used across all the Engineering fields. For control engineering applications it is widely used for optimal control and parameter identification/estimation.
