Abstract

In this chapter we consider convex minimum problems with a finite or infinite number of side conditions and their generalizations. It turns out that the results of the classical Kuhn-Tucker theory can be carried over completely to this situation.

Bees ... by virtue of a certain geometrical forethought...know that the hexagon is greater than the square and the triangle and will hold more honey for the same expenditure of material.
