Equality Constrained Problems—Lagrange Multipliers Form a scalar function, called the Lagrange func tion, by adding each of the equality constraints multiplied by an arbitrary iTuiltipher to the objective func tion. 

V L is equal to the constrained derivatives for the problem, which should be zero at the solution to the problem. Also, these stationarity conditions very neatly provide the necessaiy conditions for optimality of an equality-constrained problem.

Inequality Constrained Problems To solve inequality constrained problems, a strategy is needed that can decide which of the inequality constraints should be treated as equalities. Once that question is decided, a GRG type of approach can be used to solve the resulting equality constrained problem. Solving can be split into two phases phase 1, where the go is to find a point that is feasible with respec t to the inequality constraints and phase 2, where one seeks the optimum while maintaining feasibility. Phase 1 is often accomphshed by ignoring the objective function and using instead...

Because we now have reached an active constraint, use it to solve for one variable in terms of the other, as in the earlier equality constrained example. Let x be the basic, or dependent, variable, and y and s the nonbasic (independent) ones. Solving the constraint for x in terms of y and the slack s yields...

A great number of studies indicated that quadratic approximation methods, which are characterized by solving a sequence of quadratic subproblems recursively belong to the most efficient and reliable nonlinear programming algorithms presently available. This method combines the most efficient characteristics of different optimization techniques (see e.g, [19]). For equality constrained problems, the general nonlinear constrained optimization problem can be formulated by an... 

The next step of SMO is to compute the location of the constrained maximum of the objective function in the following equation while allowing only two Lagrange multipliers to change. Under normal circumstances (it 9 0), there will be a maximum along the direction of the linear equality constrain, and k will be less than zero. In this case, SMO computes the maximum along the direction of the constraint. 

There are many ways to solve this nonlinear equality-constrained optimization problem. One method is the quadratic model approximation [44]. The maximum entropy method can provide the least biased estimates on the basis of available information about the problems. The proven objectivity of the method relies on the fact that the solution is dictated purely by the experimental data and the nature of the problem, not by an arbitrarily introduced differential operator such as the ones may be found in the regularization method.
