Hi Ryan,
I'm really not sure about this one because I'd never come across the term in either English or Italian, but "optimum bound" seems to be a possibility.

This is how I found it:

I googled "ottimo vincolato" and looked at the various uses of the term. From that, I gathered that it was clearly a mathematical term. Math and science terms are usually translated fairly literally in Italian, so I looked up the various translations of the words "vincolato, vincolare, vincolo" and found mostly "tied" and "bound". I then started googling the various combinations ("optimum tied, etc."), and when I googled "optimum bound" I found a bunch of hits with mathematical-seeming pages.

Though I am not a mathematician, the way that the term is used--i.e. as a noun--seems to reflect that way it is used in the example you showed above.

I have no idea however how many similar-sounding mathematical terms are out there, and equally little clue with regards to the applications and full implications of the term. However, hopefully I've given you something to work with.

Best,
Katy
