1. In engineering and mathematics, a system of constraints where the number of unknown variables exceeds the number of independent equations, making it impossible to determine a unique solution without additional information
The structural analysis revealed indeterminate constraints that required additional support conditions to solve the problem.
A análise estrutural revelou restrições indeterminadas que exigiram condições de suporte adicionais para resolver o problema.
2. Constraints in optimization problems or systems where the solution space is not uniquely defined by the given conditions
The design had indeterminate constraints, allowing multiple valid configurations.
O design tinha restrições indeterminadas, permitindo múltiplas configurações válidas.
