Both cost functions minimized a quantity that reduced the external knee adduction torque.
In newtonian mechanics, particles choose trajectories that minimize action, a quantity with the dimensions energy × time.
During the next century, mathematicians showed that Newton's laws of motion could be rewritten in a similar vein: an orbiting planet or a hurtling cannonball moves as though it were trying to minimize a more abstract quantity called "action".

Krauss gives readers a feel for what that means and shows how Feynman retooled the idea to solve some nagging problems in subatomic physics.
Within the space of allowable fluxes one can then use linear programming to determine the fluxes that maximize or minimize any quantity that can be expressed as linear combinations of individual metabolic fluxes.
Although minimizing this quantity is not equivalent to minimizing the global cost function (28), such a simplified minimization scheme is commonly adopted in many algorithms, such as [20, 31].
While larger paper tests (like those for pregnancy) are common, shrinking the paper and minimizing the quantity of the required chemical reagents reduces manufacturing costs.
It also means the device will only record selectively — capturing notable events, not everything, or even every motion — thereby minimizing the quantity of footage generated.

Let and, we can formulate the objective function to have as small as possible and Δr2 as large as possible by minimizing the quantity, or equivalently (15).
