In order to improve the mechanical properties of a structure with uncertain but bounded parameters, a constrained interval robust optimization model is proposed with the center and halfwidth of its most important mechanical performance index described as objectives and the other performance indices described as constraints.
The techniques for handling discrete variables are described as well as the techniques needed to handle boundary constraints.
Many problems in multi-agent systems can be described as Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSPs), where the goal is to find a set of assignments to variables that satisfies all constraints among agents.
What was, at the outset, described as a constraint (limited options, source of uncertainty) was subsequently rationalized by some physicians as an opportunity to be "more evidence-based".
Afterwards, the obstacle avoidance constraint and other system physical limits, such as joint angle ranges, the amplitude boundaries of joint velocities and joint torques, are described as inequality constraints of a quadratic programming (QP) problem by using the model predictive control (MPC) method.
In this model, the higher-order chromatin dynamics is described as if constraints imposed onto chromatin were folding, statistically, the chromatin into a helical shape that can be characterized by two parameters: its mean Diameter (D) (in nm) and its mean Pitch (P) (in nm) [eq. 2] [ 4].
This is described as a big constraint for biogas production in the Netherlands, because the treatment or export of digestate has to be paid for.
The LUCL is classically described as the main constraint to PLRI, and hence the most important component of the LCL [ 1].
This definition is different from what the reviewer describes as "evolutionary constraint", but we acknowledge that many previous papers use "genetic constraint" similarly to our definition (e.g. (Weinreich et al., 2005), (Bridgham et al., 2009), (Taute et al., 2014), and (Podgornaia and Laub, 2015)).
