Maximizing Problems

Issues or scenarios in optimization where the goal is to find the maximum value of a function subject to certain constraints, often encountered in mathematics and economics.

Constraints

Restrictions that limit the degree to which a manager can pursue an objective.

Corner Points

In linear programming, points at the corner of the feasible region that are potential solutions to the optimization problem.

Optimal Solution

The best possible outcome or answer to a problem, maximizing or minimizing the objective function within given constraints.
