Advanced Optimization Techniques PDF

This document is an exam paper for an Advanced Optimization Techniques course. It contains 10 questions across 5 units: 1) The first unit asks about the difference between a posynomial and polynomial, and to minimize a generalized polynomial function. 2) The second unit asks about geometric programming and normality conditions, and solving a linear programming problem using dynamic programming. 3) The third unit asks to solve an optimization problem using Gomory's cutting plane method and branch and bound method. 4) The fourth unit asks about stochastic programming and its applications, and calculating probabilities for the number of operating tractors after one year. 5) The final unit asks about optimizing fuzzy systems or explaining crossover
