Mathematical Optimization Methods

Primes about formal optimization: linear and integer programming, branch-and-bound, multi-objective optimization, network flow models, sensitivity analysis, general optimization.

7 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
