\title{Optimization 2016. List of projects}
\author{Overlook of modern optimization problems and methods}
\date{}
\maketitle
Research the following topics, using online sources. Write an short (2-4 pages) report explaining the principle of the approach and illustrate it with an example. Prepare a ten minutes class presentation.
Address the following: What kind of problems can this methods solve? 


\begin{enumerate}
\item Discrete optimization. Traveling salesman problem: statement and methods. (You may use http://www.csd.uoc.gr/~hy583/papers/ch11.pdf)
\item Pareto optimization: Concept of Pareto efficiency, Pareto front. Compaer with Lagrange multipliers techniique
\item Genetic algorithms: 	Initialization, Selection, Genetic operators, Termination, The building block hypothesis
\item Stimulated annealing. (You could use examples from \\ http://csg.sph.umich.edu/abecasis/class/2006/615.19.pdf and\\  http://www.theprojectspot.com/tutorial-post/simulated-annealing-algorithm-for-beginners/6)
\item Stochastic algorithms. Use https://arxiv.org/pdf/0704.3780.pdf.


\end{enumerate}
Please indicate your preferences. The projects will be assigned in the class.
