"Discretize Then Optimize"
John Betts
Abstract
Computational techniques for solving optimal control
problems typically require combining a discretization technique with an
optimization method. One possibility is to "Discretize Then
Optimize", that is first discretize the differential equations and then
apply an optimization algorithm to solve the resulting finite dimensional
problem. Conversely one can "Optimize Then Discretize", that is write
the continuous optimality conditions first and then discretize them. The goal
of this paper is to compare the two alternatives and assess the relative merits.

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
