Infinite-dimensional optimization
In certain optimization problems the unknown optimal solution might be not a number or a vector, but rather a continuous quantity, for example a function or the shape of a body. Such a problem is an infinite-dimensional optimization problem, because, a continuous quantity cannot be determined by a finite number of degrees of freedom.
