About Optimization

Optimization Theory Overview

Introduces optimization as a way of finding a set of parameters that can be defined as optimal. These parameters are obtained by minimizing or maximizing an objective function, subject to equality or inequality constraints and/or parameter bounds.

Optimization Toolbox Solvers

What is an optimization solver?

Local vs. Global Optima

Explains why solvers might not find the smallest minimum.
