In general, are continuous or discrete problems easier to solve, or does it just depend on the problem too much?

sm022

How frequent are discrete optimization problems in computer graphics? It seems that lots of situations we encounter are in terms of continuous objectives, so I'm curious of some discrete examples

ShallowDream

what does "best" mean? Like fastest? Not overcoocked or undercooked? most tasty? according to whom?

Starboy

Since discrete problems can be transferred into a continuous version with additional constraints, should we put more emphasis on the continuous problem solution?

jonasjiang

Is there any problem that only has a discrete version but not a continuous one?

tianez

Is it possible to convert some discrete optimization problems into a continuous equivalent problem. I was thinking about things similar to generating discrete random values through CDF.

dl123

which is the most common type of optimization problem in graphics?

MrRockefeller

What’s the chances we counter continuous/discrete optimization problem in cg?

ant123

If we can convert a discrete problem to a continuous version, which version would be better to use? Is discrete optimization generally easier because of the restricted domain?

Kaxano

What discrete optimization problems do we encounter in computer graphics?

TejasFX

Do we encounter one of these more often in Computer Graphics? Also, although its logical that we can transform a discrete problem into a continuous problem by adding additional constraints (i.e branch and bound), but is this always desired since it adds additional complexity?

Coyote

Are there any clever strategies for continuous problems?

kurt

What is the implication of NP-hard here?

anon

What other major classes of 'easy' problems exist besides convex ones for the continuous domain? Would they all be some sort of subset of convex classes?

Concurrensee

Is it possible to make a discrete problem into a continuous problem?

air54321

When given a continuous problem, do we attempt to solve it by approximately it discretely? Can we assume that there are corresponding discrete/continuous problems?

L1TTLEM4N

Does converting continuous problems into discrete problems make them easier to solve?

spidey

Are more problems we deal with in computer graphics discrete or continuous? Is it better to leave a discrete problem as is or is converting it into a continuous problem better?
