Matrices, Graphs and Convexity

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Matrices, Graphs and Convexity
Leerdoelen	Upon completion of the course the student is able to: 1. Compute the Kronecker product, a Singular Value Decomposition, all left/right/generalized inverses and the Moore-Penrose inverse. 2. Check, prove and apply certain properties of (un)directed graphs. 3. Check and prove that a non-negative matrix is irreducible/primitive. 4. Check and prove that a set is convex and determine its extreme points. 5. Check and prove that a function is (quasi-)convex. 6. Compute all supporting/separating hyper-planes of convex sets.
Omschrijving	The students will acquire knowledge and skills of mathematical methods used in econometrics and operations research. Topics: Kronecker product, singular value decomposition, one-sided inverses and generalized inverses of matrices, (un)directed graphs, irreducible non-negative matrices, convex sets, convex and quasi-convex functions, supporting hyper-planes of a convex set and separating hyper-planes of two convex sets.
