Computer-aided design via optimization : A review

Many design problems, including control design problems, involve infinite dimensional constraints of the form @f(z, @a) @? 0 for all @a @e A, where @a denotes time or frequency or a parameter vector. In other design problems, tuning or trimming of certain parameters, after manufacture of the system, is permitted; the corresponding constraint is that for each @a in A there exists a value @t (of the tuning parameter) in a permissible set T such that @f(z, @a, t) < 0. Recent algorithms for solving design problems having such constraints are summarized.
