Optimized Systems
Mathematical optimization is the theory and computation of extrema or stationary points of functions. Optimization, optimisation, or optimality may also refer to: * Engineering optimization * Feedback-Directed Optimisation, in computing * Optimality model in biology * Optimality Theory, in linguistics * Optimization (role-playing games), a gaming play style * Optimize (magazine), ''Optimize'' (magazine) * Process optimization, in business and engineering, methodologies for improving the efficiency of a production process * Product optimization, in business and marketing, methodologies for improving the quality and desirability of a product or product concept * Program optimization, in computing, methodologies for improving the efficiency of software * Search engine optimization, in internet marketing *Supply chain optimization, a methodology aiming to ensure the optimal operation of a manufacturing and distribution supply chain See also * Optimum (other) * Optimali ...

Mathematical Optimization
Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled ''optimisation'') or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criterion, from some set of available alternatives. It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization. Optimization problems of sorts arise in all quantitative disciplines from computer science and engineering to operations research and economics, and the development of solution methods has been of interest in mathematics for centuries. In the more general approach, an optimization problem consists of maxima and minima, maximizing or minimizing a Function of a real variable, real function by systematically choosing Argument of a function, input values from within an allowed set and computing the Value (mathematics), value of the function. The generalization of optimization theory and techniques to other formulations constitutes a large area of applied mathematics. More generally, opti ...
