Several Requirements inside a Partitioned Feasibility Surface
Abstract
Partitioned regression can organize multiple constraints, but a smooth fit may conceal a local joint failure. Evaluation should preserve all constraint outputs on common runs and directly check candidates near limiting boundaries. Separate marginal intervals do not establish the intended joint protection, and finer partitioning is a modeling choice whose cost also needs accounting. This focused synthesis develops an empirical comparison that preserves the terminal action, observation process, and total verification cost. Its proposed tests are prospective; no new simulation run, model-training result, or intervention effect is reported.
