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, 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
