Constraint Optimization and Feasible Regions
Please, be aware that the constraints more than reduce the feasibility space, shaping what you have tried to model that. This is usually referred the art of modeling. This is where there exists more t …

Can simulation be known as a practical AI?
AI algorithms, specifically in industries, can be used to work and manipulate the data to estimate or learn this data to achive a solution or prepare trained data to feed that into an optimization model … almost the same data, e.g. number of failures in a specific station in the production line, to either estimate a function to robust some parameters as a final solution or feed these parameters into an optimization …
