1. A method for automatic power and modulation management in a communication network, comprising:
generating a discontinuous management function that is a weighted function of at least spectral efficiency and power consumption of the communication network;
determining, from the discontinuous management function, an optimal modulation format, an optimal forward error correction (FEC) rate, and an optimal output power of a transmitter of the communication network, which collectively achieve a maximum value of the management function; and
causing the transmitter to operate according to the optimal modulation format, the optimal FEC rate, and the optimal output power.
