7.2 Terminology and Classification

7.2.1 Basic Terminology and Notation

A mathematical formulation of an optimization problem involving control of an engineering system consists of the following terms or categories:(i) Decision variables or process variables, say (x1, x2 … xn) whose respective values are to be determined. These can be either discrete or continuous variables;

(ii) Control variables, which are the physical quantities which can be varied by hardware according to the numerical values of the decision variables sought. Determining the “best” numerical values of these variables is the basic intent of optimization;
