The Optimization Algorithm is the procedire which is executed iteratively by comparing various solutions till the optimum or a satisfactory solution is found


It contains the following four tasks:
Design-varible

constraint

objective-function

Varible-bound

After the above four tasks are completed,the optimization problem can be mathematically written in a special format,know as Non-Liniar programing(NLP)format. Denoting the design varibles as a column vector x=(x1,x2,x3,....,xN)T, the objective function as a scalar quantity f(x),j inequality constraints as gj(x)=>0, and K equality constraints as hk(x)=0,we write the NLP problem:
Minimize f(x)

subject to:
gj(x)=>0, j=1,2,....,J;
hk(x)=0, k=1,2,....,K;
xi(L) <= xi <= xi(U), i=1,2,....,N.
