For example, we may want to minimize the scrap rate by finding the optimal process parameters of an manufacturing machine. However, we know the scrap rate cannot be below 0. In another setting, we may want to maximize the throughput of a machine, but we know that the throughput cannot exceed the maximum belt speed of the machine. Thus, we need to find regions in the search space that both yield high objective values and satisfy these constraints. In this blog, we will focus on inequality outcome constraints. That is, the domain of the objective function is ...
