Re: Maximize/minimize

Yes, but shouldn't the results, may they be odd, be the same for all of us?

I agree this is odd, though we are probably using slightly different version (I'm still using F000).

Yes, I think its as of different program versions, I am on M030m Berend using M010. What results do you get fro my sheet? Results different from mine or Barend's?

 

I'm merely quoting the help file!

I see, I just looked it up.

"If you are solving for n variables, the solve block must have n equations."

I think thats an error in the help file because

  • we can use minimize() also unconstrained withou a solve block
  • the help distinguishes between equations and constraints later and all nonlinear examples are using no equation at all but just 2 constraints and also the last example in the linear programming quicksheet contains no equations, 9 constraints and 6 variables to "solve" for
  • n equations for n variables may fix those variables and leave no room at all for optimization
  • Prime's help states differently: "When you add constraints to an optimization problem, you must have fewer equality constraints than optimization variables."
