Talk:Solution set

I just added a section "other meanings", to speak of the set of solutions to any kind of equation, inequality or so. It is still much of a "stub". I didn't want to modify it too heavily, but I think that this more general meaning should get a better position (if not become the first to be discussed) in the article (in a less abstract form), and the "set of roots of set of polynomials" meaning should be in one section (i.e. below a common ==title==, with current ==...== to become ===...===). — MFH:Talk 22:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

w.r.t.[edit]

What does w.r.t. mean? --Abdull 16:25, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it means "with respect to" or "with regard to": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.r.t.#WR. E.boyer7 22:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Constrained optimization[edit]

@Loraof: Can you provide a reference for this statement that you added to this article? Jarble (talk) 01:50, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I dont have access to a good library any more, so I can’t provide a reference. You might look in any linear programming textbook (or text on optimization in general) for this. It’s pretty much tautologically true: The feasible region of a constrained optimization problem is the solution set of the constraints simply says that the set of permissible points is the set of points that are permissible.
