NOTE ON B. KLEIN'S 'DIRECT USE OF EXTREMAL PRINCIPLES IN SOLVING CERTAIN PROBLEMS INVOLVING INEQUALITIES'

Abstract

In the May, 1955 issue of the Journal of the Operations Research Society of America, B. Klein proposed that ordinary methods of the differential calculus be used to minimize a function z of n variables x sub 1, x sub 2 . . ., x sub n, where the latter are subject to inequality constraints instead of the usual equality constraints. This report discusses whether this proposal can be used constructively to determine the optimum.
