Discrete Optimization

Discrete Optimization is a branch of optimization that focuses on finding optimal solutions to problems where the set of feasible solutions is discrete or can be reduced to a discrete set, distinguishing it from continuous optimization by its reliance on combinatorial structures and finite solution spaces.
