Explicit and Implicit Constraint


The optimal approach to solving problems is lack of constraints. In practice solving problems involves an implicit constraint that the equations of state must be satisfied at every iteration of the solution process. This constraint can make a problem highly non-linear and thus difficult to solve.

Explicit constraints are rules that, each Xi to take on values only from a given set. So additional explicit constraints can be be added to the problem solving process in which the parameters and state are treated as independent variables so all constraints appear explicitly. Thus making identifying a solution to the problem more probable.
