Hence, we iteratively determine the optimal values in single variable suboptimization problems that are decoupled from the original problem in terms of l, [alpha], [beta], [lambda], and p.
After the complete process is better understood, commonsense improvements that identify suboptimization, eliminate unnecessary or duplicate effort, and better manage process flow will become evident.
