-Fixed complexity problems +
 Fixed complexity problems are problems in which the only requirement is to find a suitable set of values for a fixed set of parameters. Problems falling into this class include Fixed complexity problems are problems in which the only requirement is to find a suitable set of values for a fixed set of parameters. Problems falling into this class include
 +  * Many continuous optimisation problems, where the aim is simply to find real-number values for a set of parameters x1,...,xn that optimise the value of some function f(x1,​...,​xn) ​
 +  * Some discrete optimisation problems, where the aim is again to find integer values for a set of parameters x1,...,xn that optimise the value of some function f(x1,​...,​xn) ​
