It is to weaken, slacken, or make less strict.
0Example:
1. Assume X is an integer in the range from 100 to 1000. (This is the base assumption.)
Let's relax the assumption:
2. Assume X is an integer.
The relaxation has been to remove the restriction "ranging from 100 to 1000." Thus this assumption applies to a much wider range of X values. It is less restrictive (weaker) than the first assumption.
