The constrained-optimization problem (COP) is a significant generalization of the classic constraint-satisfaction problem (CSP) model. [1] COP is a CSP that includes an objective function to be optimized. Many algorithms are used to handle the optimization part.
Design optimization involves the following stages: [1] [2] Variables: Describe the design alternatives; Objective: Elected functional combination of variables (to be maximized or minimized) Constraints: Combination of Variables expressed as equalities or inequalities that must be satisfied for any acceptable design alternative
An interior point method was discovered by Soviet mathematician I. I. Dikin in 1967. [1] The method was reinvented in the U.S. in the mid-1980s. In 1984, Narendra Karmarkar developed a method for linear programming called Karmarkar's algorithm, [2] which runs in provably polynomial time (() operations on L-bit numbers, where n is the number of variables and constants), and is also very ...
The system of equations and inequalities corresponding to the KKT conditions is usually not solved directly, except in the few special cases where a closed-form solution can be derived analytically. In general, many optimization algorithms can be interpreted as methods for numerically solving the KKT system of equations and inequalities. [7]

Then we proceed to the next inequality constraint. For each constraint, we either convert it to equality or remove it. Finally, we have only equality constraints, which can be solved by any method for solving a system of linear equations. Step 3: the decision problem can be reduced to a different optimization problem.
To see this, note that the two constraints x 1 (x 1 − 1) ≤ 0 and x 1 (x 1 − 1) ≥ 0 are equivalent to the constraint x 1 (x 1 − 1) = 0, which is in turn equivalent to the constraint x 1 ∈ {0, 1}. Hence, any 0–1 integer program (in which all variables have to be either 0 or 1) can be formulated as a quadratically constrained ...
In mathematical optimization, the method of Lagrange multipliers is a strategy for finding the local maxima and minima of a function subject to equation constraints (i.e., subject to the condition that one or more equations have to be satisfied exactly by the chosen values of the variables). [1] It is named after the mathematician Joseph-Louis ...
