I just added a section "other meanings", to speak of the set of solutions to any kind of equation, inequality or so.It is still much of a "stub". I didn't want to modify it too heavily, but I think that this more general meaning should get a better position (if not become the first to be discussed) in the article (in a less abstract form), and the "set of roots of set of polynomials" meaning should be in one section (i.e. below a common ==title==, with current ==...== to become ===...===).—MFH:Talk22:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What doesw.r.t. mean? --Abdull16:25, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it means "with respect to" or "with regard to":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.r.t.#WR.E.boyer722:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@Loraof: Can you provide a reference forthis statement that you added to this article?Jarble (talk)01:50, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I dont have access to a good library any more, so I can’t provide a reference. You might look in any linear programming textbook (or text on optimization in general) for this. It’s pretty much tautologically true:Thefeasible region of aconstrained optimization problem is the solution set of theconstraints simply says that the set of permissible points is the set of points that are permissible.Loraof (talk)02:54, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While I appreciate the dedication to completeness, the references to constrained optimization and rings feel overly technical. This is further compounded by the lack of citations for these claims. I am fairly certain the claims are true, but I question whether they are truly relevant to someone looking up "solution set." Can they be removed?MoonriseCleric (talk)04:05, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
