Concept of optimization problem Optimization : -Optimum value that is either minimum or maximum value. y = F(x) Example: 2x − 6y = 11 or y = (2x − 11) ÷ 6 Can we determine an optimum value for y?  Similarly, in the following case 3x + 4y ≥ 56. These are really not related to optimization problem. Defining an optimization problem Suppose, we are to design an optimal pointer made of some material with density ρ. The pointer should be as low weight as possible, with a desirable strength (i.e. sustainable to mechanical breakage) and the deflection of pointing at end should be negligible. The task is to select the best pointer out of all possible pointers.
