Abstract
The goal in optimization problems is to find the minimum or maximum of a cost function f(x 1, ..., x n ) that depends on n variables x 1,...,x n . This chapter develops the necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of variables, x 1,...,x n , to be a minimum (or maximum) of the cost function.
