Parametric programming¶
"Normal" mathematical optimization asks what a particular solution is, i.e. we look for x=5 or x=1. However, what if we would like to know how the solution changes as a function of a parameter? This is called parametric programming1, and it is a wonderfully quirky subject, that I spent my PhD on.
Right now, I don't want to take too much time writing about it, but one day, it will come :) Until then, this book I co-authored covers all the fundamentals.
