In mathematics, a constraint is a condition of an optimization problem that the solution must satisfy.

Description

There are several types of constraints, primarily:

  • Equality constraints
  • Inequality constraints
  • Integer constraints

The set of candidate solutions that satisfy all constraints is called the feasible set.
