Optimization | Definition, Techniques, & Facts | Britannica
Optimization, collection of mathematical principles and methods used for solving quantitative problems. Optimization problems typically have three fundamental elements: a quantity to be maximized or minimized, a collection of variables, and a set of constraints that restrict the variables.

Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia
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.

OPTIMIZATION Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
In basic applications, optimization refers to the act or process of making something as good as it can be. In the 21st century, it has seen much use in technical contexts having to do with attaining the best possible functionality, as in "network optimization" and "search engine optimization" (SEO).

Optimization Problems - Simon Fraser University
Guideline for Solving Optimization Problems. Identify what is to be maximized or minimized and what the constraints are. Draw a diagram (if appropriate) and label it. Decide what the variables are and in what units their values are being measured in. For example, \ (A\) for area in square metres, \ (r\) for radius in inches, \ (C\) for cost in ...

Optimization | Definition & Examples
Optimization is the process of making a system as effective or functional as possible by adjusting variables to find the best solution. It involves defining an objective function, modeling the problem, and applying optimization algorithms to achieve the desired outcome.

Optimization - Math.net
Optimization, within the context of mathematics, refers to the determination of the best result (given the desired constraints) of a set of possible outcomes. We can use the first and second derivative tests to find the global minima and maxima of quantities involved in word problems.
