Constrained optimization

In mathematical optimization, constrained optimization (in some contexts called constraint optimization) is the process of optimizing an objective function with respect to some variables in the presence of constraints on those variables. The objective function is either a cost function or energy function, which is to be minimized, or a reward function or utility function, which is to be maximized. Constraints can be either hard constraints, which set conditions for the variables that are required to be satisfied, or soft constraints, which have some variable values that are penalized in the objective function if, and based on the extent that, the conditions on the variables are not satisfied. (Wikipedia).

Solving Systems of Equations Using the Optimization Penalty Method

In this video we show how to solve a system of equations using numerical optimization instead of analytically solving. We show that this can be applied to either fully constrained or over constrained problems. In addition, this can be used to solve a system of equations that include both

Constrained Optimization: Linear Programs

In this video we introduce the concept of linear optimization problems, AKA linear programs (LPs). LPs are optimization problems where the cost function and constraints are linear (or affine). We examine several examples of linear programs, discuss how to transform general LPs into stand
