{wiki=Penalty_method}
The Penalty Method is a mathematical technique commonly used in optimization problems, particularly in nonlinear programming. It involves adding a penalty term to the objective function to discourage violation of constraints. This method enables the transformation of a constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained one. \#\#\# Key Components of the Penalty Method: 1. **Objective Function**: The original function you want to optimize (minimize or maximize).
