Co370: deterministic operations research models c(cid:13)department of combinatorics and optimization. 4. 3. 1 change in objective coe cient for a nonbasic variable . 4. 3. 2 change in objective coe cient for a basic variable . 4. 3. 4 change in the right-hand-side of a binding constraint . 5 decision-making under uncertainty: stochastic and robust optimization. It is di cult to give a de nition of the eld that everybody can agree on, but at the least, operations research is the. Eld of applying mathematical modeling tools for complex decision making in the real world. It is comprised of two main areas: optimization and stochastic processes. In this course, we focus on the optimization side of or. Or has its origins in world war ii, when british military scientists and engineers were asked to apply mathematical tools to analyze various military problems. Some of these application areas include the deployment of radar and management of convoy, mining and anti-submarine operations.
