Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition

Each of the inequality constraints gj(z) multiphed by what is called a Kuhn-Tucker multiplier is added to form the Lagrange function. The necessaiy conditions for optimality, called the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions for inequality-constrained optimization problems, are... 

The first-order necessary conditions for problems with inequality constraints are called the Kuhn-Tucker conditions (also called Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions). The idea of a cone aids the understanding of the Kuhn-Tucker conditions (KTC). A cone is a set of points R such that, if x is in R, Tx is also in R for X 0. A convex cone is a cone that is a convex set. An example of a convex cone in two dimensions is shown in Figure 8.2. In two and three dimensions, the definition of a convex cone coincides with the usual meaning of the word. 

Under this assumption, (X,y) e S x R " must be an optimal solution that is, the solution that maximizes and minimizes the functions, respectively, for Eqs. (l)-(2) if and only if it satisfies the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition ...

Now consider the imposition of inequality [g(x) < 0] and equality constraints 7i(x) = 0] in Fig. 3-55. Continuing the kinematic interpretation, the inequality constraints g(x) < 0 act as fences in the valley, and equality constraints h(x) = 0 act as "rails. Consider now a ball, constrained on a rail and within fences, to roll to its lowest point. This stationary point occurs when the normal forces exerted by the fences [- Vg(x )] and rails [- V/i(x )] on the ball are balanced by the force of gravity [— Vfix )]. This condition can be stated by the following Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) necessary conditions for constrained optimality ...

Remark 1 Note that the saddle point sufficiency conditions do not require either additional convexity assumptions or a constraint qualification like condition. Note also that the saddle point sufficiency conditions do not require any differentiability on the Lagrange function. If in addition, the functions /(jc), h(x),g(x) are differentiable, and hence the Lagrange function is differentiable, and (3c, A,p) is a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker Saddle point, then it is a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker point [i.e., it is a solution of (3.3) and it satisfies the constraint qualification]. 

Control variables are discretized at the same level as the state variables, and the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions of the simultaneous NLP are consistent with the optimality conditions of the discretized variational problem. 

The Disc problem is equivalent to the solution of the paiameterised set of the first-order Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions for the control problem of Eq. (7) for variable disturbance magnitude. The set is further augmented with the relations that govern the variations of multiple parameters or disturbances (Ref. 38), As, as follows. 

As an immediate application, note that, while w is explicitly determined by (2.24), the bias b is not, although it is implicitly determined. However b is easily found by using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) complementarity condition, which will be described as follows. 

The last relation (2.31) is known as Karush-Kuhn-Tucker complementarity condition. From this condition one can not only compute b by choosing any / for which a, 0, but also conclude that nonzero coefficients a correspond only to the vectors x. that satisfy the equality...

Combining these results, we identify tiie first-order optimality conditions that are sahsfied at a constrained minimum Xmm. known as tiie Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. We define the Lagrangian as... 

This chapter provides an informal discussion of the basic concepts behind the minimization of a function F x) vith constrained variables x. The necessary and sufficient conditions to solve a constrained minimization problem are called KKT conditions (by Karush, Kuhn, and Tucker) or Fritz John conditions in certain specific situations. 

The Attic method is based on the necessary conditions by Karush, Kuhn, and Tucker (KKT) applied to a problem, which is linear in its objective function and constraints. 

One of the most important theoretical results in optimization are the Karush, Kuhn and Tucker conditions. They must be satisfied at any optimum, local or global, of any linear and most nonlinear programs. The vector or e K satisfies these conditions for the program (A.l) if there exists vectors fi eW" and X e such that...
