Optimization
How are these kinds of
problems set up mathematically?
Objective function
Why not make L,h,and w
very small?
Constraints
Constraints
Let’s look at the cable
design
The objective function
Constraints
The first derivative
The second derivative
How do we handle
multivariable problems?
(no constraints)
Gradient
What is the gradient
What is the analogy in
n-D to the 2nd derivative condition?
What about multivariable
problems with constraints?
Gradient of the
Lagrangian
