Re: I am not a fan of synonyms in general, so I try to avoid them.

I should probably have noticed that based on our past discussions. It seems that we have rather different view on synonyms. (At least this type of synonyms.)

I'd guess that this should be the bulk of the past discussion related to this specific pair of tags:

Short summary is that quid says that (maxima-minima) should not be synonym of optimization. (And some of the arguments given above seem pretty convincing.)

Of course, if we take this viewpoint, then also the existing synonym max-min $\to$ optimization should probably be cancelled.

Since I have mentioned recently a few tag-related issues which need involvement of a moderator, here is one more thing.

Actually, I am not really sure whether it is indeed an issue. But mods (either from MSE or MO) are probably in better position to judge whether this indeed may affect migrations from MO. (And whether migrations in this direction are frequent enough to even care about this.)

Since this is definitely not urgent (and I am not sure whether it is really something to worry about) I have not pinged anybody. (But since quid and Michael Greinecker visit this room quite often these days, there is quite a good chance that somebody notices the above.)

Since there is on moderator on both sites (MO and MSE), I guess a communication between the two moderator teams is not a problem. (If it is needed in connection with this possible problem.)

I marked both functions/relations composition and chaos theory/chaotic system as resolved on meta.

@quid When you happen to have a bit of time, you might have a look at the two issues I mentioned above (max-min, synonyms vs. migrations). But both have been around for some time so neither of those two is something urgent.
