Could you explain what setup time and hold time are, and how violations of these times occur, along with strategies to minimize such violations?

setup time : It is the  minimum time input must be stable before arrival of
clock edge where for hold time it is the minimum time input must be stable after
arrival of clock edge .These violations occur whenever input changes during the
setup and hold constriants .setup time can be minimized by increasing the clock
period and decreasing the the clock2q delay ,combinational delay and setup
time.hold time can be minimized by decreasing the hold time and increasing C2Q
delay and combination delay.
