3.1 Introduction

Optimization is defined as “the operation of getting the conditions that give the minimum or maximum value of a specific function.” Optimization problems can be classified into unconstrained and constrained optimization problems. Constrained optimization is much harder than unconstrained optimization because it requires finding the best value of the objective function, in addition to verifying various constraints of the problem. There is no specific method available for solving all optimization problems efficiently. However, a number of optimization techniques have been improved for solving different types of optimization problems [6]. The optimum-seeking methods are ...
