Question Paper
Compare the utility and advantages of Cholesky and LDLT decomposition in Matrix method for structural analysis.
Write a short note on Numerical integration in two-dimensional problems.
2. Solve the following set of equations by Gauss elimination method
5x 2y 2z
3x Z=5
Check your answers by substituting them into the original equations.
3. Differentiate between the local and global optimisation. And discuss the role of convex functions in the local and.global optimisations.
4. What is meant by sizing optimisation? Take up a truss and explain with a neat sketch, how a sizing structural optimisation problem can be solved in that by optimizing the cross-sectional areas of the truss members.
5. Prove that is optimal for the optimisation problem.
Minimize: x^T Px q^Tx r
subject to i
where,

Discuss' in brief the application of penalty function method of constrained optimisation.
Discuss the basic properties of concave function.
7. Consider the linear programming problem:
Maximize: 6x 8y
subject to 5x+ 2y<=40
6x+ 6y<=60
2x+4y<=32
Obtain the solution using the simplex method.
