This paper gives general conditions under which a collection of optimization problems, with the objective function and the constraint set depending on a parameter, has optimal solutions that are an ...

An alternative technique for recovering the technology from the cost function is investigated. The recovery method uses an optimization problem with a finite number of constraints that, under ...

This property has a straightforward geometric interpretation. Thus, any optimization problem with a quadratic objective can be decomposed into two separate problems: the unconstrained minimization of ...

Did you consider yourself a mathematician the last time you sat down to solve a Sudoku puzzle? It’s certainly a mentally ...

Optimization problems in calculus are always asking to maximize or minimize some quantity. Typical phrases that indicate an optimization problem include: "Find the largest ..." or "Find the minimum ..
