  2. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

    Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization .

  3. Linear programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming

    However, some problems have distinct optimal solutions; for example, the problem of finding a feasible solution to a system of linear inequalities is a linear programming problem in which the objective function is the zero function (i.e., the constant function taking the value zero everywhere).

  4. Stochastic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_programming

    In the field of mathematical optimization, stochastic programming is a framework for modeling optimization problems that involve uncertainty.A stochastic program is an optimization problem in which some or all problem parameters are uncertain, but follow known probability distributions.

  5. Dynamic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

    If the solution to any problem can be formulated recursively using the solution to its sub-problems, and if its sub-problems are overlapping, then one can easily memoize or store the solutions to the sub-problems in a table (often an array or hashtable in practice). Whenever we attempt to solve a new sub-problem, we first check the table to see ...

  6. Integer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_programming

    An integer programming problem is a mathematical optimization or feasibility program in which some or all of the variables are restricted to be integers.In many settings the term refers to integer linear programming (ILP), in which the objective function and the constraints (other than the integer constraints) are linear.

  7. Multi-objective optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-objective_optimization

    Multi-objective optimization or Pareto optimization (also known as multi-objective programming, vector optimization, multicriteria optimization, or multiattribute optimization) is an area of multiple-criteria decision making that is concerned with mathematical optimization problems involving more than one objective function to be optimized simultaneously.

  8. List of optimization software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optimization_software

    Given a transformation between input and output values, described by a mathematical function, optimization deals with generating and selecting the best solution from some set of available alternatives, by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set, computing the output of the function and recording the best output values found during the process.

  9. Constraint satisfaction problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constraint_satisfaction...

    In the general case, constraint problems can be much harder, and may not be expressible in some of these simpler systems. "Real life" examples include automated planning, [6] [7] lexical disambiguation, [8] [9] musicology, [10] product configuration [11] and resource allocation. [12] The existence of a solution to a CSP can be viewed as a ...
