A two-dimensional toy optimization problemAs a toy example of an optimization problem in two variables, consider the problem ![]() (Note that the term ‘‘subject to’’ has been replaced with the shorthand colon notation.) The problem can be put in standard form ![]() where:
![]()
![]()
![]() Since the optimal set is not empty, the problem is attained. We can represent the problem in epigraph form, as ![]()
