1 the process of making something as good or effective as possible: --
The airline's scheduling optimization program ensures that it serves the maximum number of passengers.
The interplay of strengthening and relaxation is an old theme in optimization that goes under the name of primal-dual methods.
Common examples of reformulating optimization structure are the elimination of object design variables and the modification of search methods.
Consider, for example, the simplest classical version of the optimization of consumption.
It is not the exact values of these numbers that matter, especially since it can be assumed that the optimization problems have several local minima.
The "cost" column shows the total number of simulations used in the 16 optimizations.
The transformed problem can be solved with a static optimization procedure.
The optimization allows for more general goals than strictly necessary to be resolved.
In some cases, the optimization code converged to different solutions depending on the initial condition.
