This repository contains seminars resources for the course "Optimization methods" for the 3-rd year students of Department of Control and Applied Mathematics, MIPT. Every seminar presents brief review of necessary part of theory covered in lectures and examples of standard tasks for considered topic.
The main tool in development of efficient optimization methods is numerical linear algebra. To refresh your knowledge, you can use the crash course (ru, en).
Almost all numerical tests in this repository are performed with liboptpy library, where you can find easy to use implementations of different optimization methods. Also we use CVXPY 1.0 for comparison purpose.
