Constrained optimisation problems are familiar to first-year economics students from the use of indifference curves to solve consumer choice and cost minimisation problems. But the most commonly used ...

LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) - Uncertainty about the commitment of politicians and the public to "stay the course" risks derailing Britain's plan to cut greenhouse emissions by at least 80 percent by 2050.

No algorithm for optimizing general nonlinear functions exists that will always find the global optimum for a general nonlinear minimization problem in a reasonable amount of time. Since no single ...

In this article, we derive second-order necessary conditions of optimality for an abstract optimization problem with equality and inequality constraints and constraints in the form of an inclusion ...
