Abstract

A systematic compilation of fundamental results for several types of constrained optimization problems—including those with only equality constraints, only inequality constraints, and a mixture of both—is presented, covering the theorems of alternative, Karush‑Kuhn‑Tucker (KKT) conditions, and strong duality in as complete a form as possible. This exposition is designed to serve as a handy reference for students, offering a self‑contained collection of the essential theoretical tools, while also providing instructors with a convenient source for lecture preparation.
