In the introductory chapter, we discussed function characteristics from the point of view of the function’s output—the black-box view shown in Fig. 1.16. Here, we discuss how the function is modeled and computed. The better your understanding of the model and the more access you have to its details, the more effectively you can solve the optimization problem. We explain the errors involved in the modeling process so that we can interpret optimization results correctly.
