Constrained optimization methods

In the very simplest of terms, constrained optimization methods are mathematical models that can be used in very large projects. One would use constrained optimization methods if they need comprehensive calculations and they can leave it to computers to figure out.

There are several techniques that can be utilized in constrained optimization and they are as follows:

• Linear programming
• Nonlinear programming
• Integer programming
• Dynamic programming
• Multiple objective programming

The good news is that you don't need to know or even understand the constrained optimization methods for your Project + exam, but what you may have to identify is constrained optimization when the question is asking about computer models and programming for project selection.
