| Summary: | In general, optimisation is the process of obtaining either the best minimum or maximum result under specific cir-
cumstance. The optimisation process engages with defining and examining objective or fitness function that suits some
parameters and constraints. Nowadays, a vast range of business, management and engineering applications utilise the optimisation approach to save time, cost and resources while gaining better profit, output, performance and efficiency. Optimisation problems can be divided into two categories: continuous and combinatorial (discrete). A combinatorial optimisation problem has a finite number of solutions but this is not in the case with a continuous optimisation problem where the number of solutions is infinite. This book concentrates only on continuous optimisation problems. So, here optimisation will refer solely to continuous optimisation problems. |
