      Content of Learning Activity

      Basic notions of graph theory and data structure; study of classical graph theory problems : trees, shortest paths, connexity, flows;    Comparison of graphs using global connexity indicators, global connectivity indicators and local position indicators. Introduction to complexity theory : P and NP classes; study of classical combinatorial optimization problems : knapsack, set covering, travelling salesman; introduction to metaheuristics.
      A project/challenge is orgnized and it is part of the content of the AA.

      The teaching methods are likely to be adjusted according to the educational context
      imposed by the health measures.
