Chapter 16 optimization in several variables with constraints1. In optimization of a design, the design objective could be simply to minimize the cost of production or to maximize the efficiency of production. Unconstrained optimization deals with situations where we seek to either maximize or minimize one or several variables without any restrictions on the values they can take.
If any design variable corresponding to the optimal solution is found to lie on or near the minimum or maximum bound, the chosen bound may be adjusted and optimization algorithm may be simulated again.
