We discuss the problem of optimal design of encoding profiles for adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming. We formalize this problem and show that it belongs to a class of non-linear constrained optimization problems, with several methods available for solving it numerically. We illustrate the effectiveness of our approach by several examples of optimal encoding ladders constructed for different sources and network models.
