The TSP phase transition - Computer Science and Engineering
... [4] showed that computational difficulty is often associated with this phase transition. In the loosely constrained region, the very large number of solutions means that it is typically easy to find one. In the tightly constrained region, it is usually comparatively easy to show that no solution exi ...

Mathematical optimization

In mathematics, computer science and operations research, mathematical optimization (alternatively, optimization or mathematical programming) is the selection of a best element (with regard to some criteria) from some set of available alternatives.In the simplest case, an optimization problem consists of maximizing or minimizing a real function by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set and computing the value of the function. The generalization of optimization theory and techniques to other formulations comprises a large area of applied mathematics. More generally, optimization includes finding ""best available"" values of some objective function given a defined domain (or a set of constraints), including a variety of different types of objective functions and different types of domains.
