0 the action of reducing something to the lowest possible level or amount: --

The aim of these changes is the minimization of production costs.
2 the act of making something seem less important or smaller than it really is: --
The report's minimization of health risks to workers has been strongly criticized.
This property can be used to reduce the size of automata when the running time of the minimization algorithm is restricted for some reason.
We assume that the pollution abatement cost and levy/tax minimization may omit the possibility of substitution between production activities and abatement activities.
The most important feature of the data minimization algorithm for surgical robotics is the smoothing of the movement by the determination of a cubic spline.
Some authors26,27 also relate this criterion with an approximate minimization of total kinetic energy, though this is not completely accurate.
They are infinite-dimensional analogues of the inverse extremal problems relevant to the active minimization of sound fields in regular acoustic waveguides.
The energy function was derived in consideration of the satisfaction of assembly constraints, and the minimization of assembly cost and the idle time.
With this approach, any number of objectives can be solved,30 and both maximization and minimization problems can be handled.
Basically, the minimization program (3) may appear as some kind of regression under linear constraints.
