Voluntary term paper (tba later)

There is no compulsory term paper in this course this year. However, I will as a service put up a problem set for you to solve. It will not be available until you have done seminar problems in nonlinear programming.

It will be taken from exam problem sets from 2008 and 2009. I have disabled a link or two -- they are there for those who want to find, but I suggest you rather:

• Don't look at this "broken link" exam yet -- and the same goes for the 2009 exams, in case you have found them elsewhere;

• When I announce the "term paper", allocate three hours for it for a realistic exam setting. Then print out, write a solution in three hours, and submit it to me.

I will only give a rough assessment to them (no explicit grading) -- hey, I am not really paid to do this ;) -- but you might want the feedback not only to whether you solve it correctly, but also to whether you manage to write it in an appropriate way (e.g.: sufficient text? Wasted time writing too much text? Too sloppily written so it is too hard to tell whether you are doing the right thing?)
