Parametric programming
open-in-new
<p>Parametric programming is a type of <a href="/facts/Mathematical_optimization/oRn8Iv5I">mathematical optimization</a>, where the <a href="/facts/Optimization_problem/QzwJfFEE">optimization problem</a> is solved as a function of one or multiple <a href="/facts/Parameters/zFvVFMv9">parameters</a>. Developed in parallel to <a href="/facts/Sensitivity_analysis/X9x3WAnK">sensitivity analysis</a>, its earliest mention can be found in a <a href="/facts/Thesis/dYnTaYqQ">thesis</a> from 1952. Since then, there have been considerable developments for the cases of multiple parameters, presence of <a href="/facts/Integer/PUwwrawx">integer</a> variables as well as nonlinearities. </p>
