A barrier function is a concept commonly used in optimization, particularly in the context of constrained optimization problems. Barrier functions help to modify the optimization problem so that the constraints are incorporated into the objective function, allowing for easier handling of constraints during the optimization process. The main idea is to add a penalty to the objective function that becomes increasingly large as the solution approaches the boundaries of the feasible region defined by the constraints.
