Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The optimization problem and its formulation raise several questions that require further clarification:
- Could you please specify the type of the optimization problem addressed in your study? Additionally, it would be helpful to understand the constraints considered in the formulation.
- Can you provide information about the number of variables in the optimization problem? It would be valuable to know the distinction between free variables and state variables, if applicable.
- The objective function in your paper is formulated as a Cartesian product. Could you please explain the rationale behind this choice? Why were no other types of products considered for the objective function?
- The selection of the matrix A is not clearly explained. Could you provide more details on how this matrix is determined and its significance within the optimization problem?
- Additionally, has a sensitivity analysis of the four parameters (a1 to a4) mentioned in the paper been conducted? If so, please share the results and any insights gained from this analysis.
