Technical details and manufacturing context for Penalty Function Module

Definition
The Penalty Function Module is a specialized component within the Penalty Function Processor that calculates and applies penalty values to constraint violations in optimization algorithms. It transforms constrained optimization problems into unconstrained ones by adding penalty terms to the objective function when constraints are not satisfied.
Working Principle
The module receives constraint violation data from the processor, applies predefined penalty functions (such as quadratic, linear, or barrier functions), calculates penalty values based on violation magnitudes, and outputs modified objective function values for optimization algorithms to minimize.
