hi i have an objective function with constraints as below
(c0^2+c1^2+c2^2)(0.0765)+0.0916(c0*c1)-0.0916(c1*c2)-0.021(c0*c2)
subject to
(c0^2+c1^2+c2^c3)=1
i don't how to solve it using minimize because it contain '=' constraint.
can anybody tell me how to solve it
Thankyou

Hi,
the variable c3 in the constrain does not appear in your function. maybe
the constrain should read: (c0^2+c1^2+c2^2)=1. The your problem would be
written:

Minimize[{(c0^2+c1^2+c2^2)(0.0765)+0.0916(c0*c1)-0.0916(c1*c2)-0.021(c0*c2),
(c0^2+c1^2+c2^2)==1
},{c0,c1,c2}
]

Hi,

if you want an equality, then you have to use "equal" (==) and not
Set (=)

eq = (c0^2 + c1^2 + c2^2) (0.0765) + 0.0916 (c0*c1) - 0.0916 (c1*c2) -
0.021 (c0*c2);
constr = (c0^2 + c1^2 + c2^c3) == 1;
Minimize[{eq, constr}, {c0, c1, c2, c3}]

Cheers
Patrick
