Constrained Minimization Conditions

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: International Series in Operations Research & Management Science ((ISOR,volume 228))

Abstract

We turn now, in this final part of the book, to the study of minimization problems having constraints. We begin by studying in this chapter the necessary and sufficient conditions satisfied at solution points. These conditions, aside from their intrinsic value in characterizing solutions, define Lagrange multipliers and a certain Hessian matrix which, taken together, form the foundation for both the development and analysis of algorithms presented in subsequent chapters.
