【首席架构师推荐】精选优化软件清单

给定一个输入和输出值之间的转换,描述一个数学函数f,优化处理生成和选择一个最佳解决方案从一些组可用的替代方案,通过系统地选择输入值在一个允许集,计算的输出功能,录音过程中发现的最好的输出值。许多实际问题都可以用这种方法建模。例如，输入可以是电机的设计参数，输出可以是功耗，或者输入可以是业务选择，输出可以是获得的利润。

优化问题，在本例中是最小化问题，可以用以下方式表示

给定:一个函数f:一个{\displaystyle \to}\to R，从某个集合a到实数

搜索:A中的一个元素x0，使得f(x0)≤f(x)对于A中的所有x。

在连续优化中，A是欧氏空间Rn的某个子集，通常由一组约束、等式或不等式来指定，这些约束、等式或不等式是A的成员必须满足的。在组合优化中，A是离散空间的某个子集，如二进制字符串、排列或整数集。

优化软件的使用要求函数f用合适的编程语言定义，并在编译或运行时连接到优化软件。优化软件将在A中提供输入值，实现f的软件模块将提供计算值f(x)，在某些情况下，还将提供关于函数的附加信息，如导数。

这样就得到了一个清晰的关注点分离:不同的优化软件模块可以很容易地在同一个函数f上进行测试，或者给定的优化软件可以用于不同的函数f。

下表提供了根据许可证和业务模型类型组织的值得注意的优化软件列表。
