Constraint (mathematics)
From Wiki @ Karl Jones dot com
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.
