Chapter 4 Optimum Design Concepts
Arora, Introduction to Optimum Design, 4e
Referring to Exercise 4.67, the point satisfying the KKT necessary conditions is
x1= 2, x2= 1 , u2= 2, f = 1
SECOND ORDER CONDITIONS ARE DISCUSSED IN CHAPTER 5
The Hessian of cost function is positive definite, and the constraint function is linear. So, this is a
convex problem. It follows from Theorem 4.11 the point is an isolated global minimum.
The gradient of cost and constraint functions are
At optimum point P (2,1)
We need to check (4.52) from P.131
− ∇f = ui∇gi
which shows local minimum point.
By Theorem 4.7,
