1.Introduction: Optimization is the act of obtaining the best result under given circumstances. Optimization can be defined as the process of finding the conditions that give the maximum or minimum of a function. The optimum seeking methods are also known as mathematical programming techniques and are generally studied as a part of operations research. Operations research is a branch of mathematics concerned with the application of scientific methods and techniques to decision making problems and with establishing the best or optimal solutions.
