Lagrange multipliers of the problem at point x. It needs an extra call to the objective function gradient unless it can be computed during the optimization (AbdoRackwitz or SQP).

Notes

The Lagrange multipliers \vect{\lambda} are associated with the following Lagrangian formulation of the optimization problem:

\cL(\vect{x}, \vect{\lambda}_{eq}, \vect{\lambda}_{\ell}, \vect{\lambda}_{u}, \vect{\lambda}_{ineq}) = J(\vect{x}) + \Tr{\vect{\lambda}}_{eq} g(\vect{x}) + \Tr{\vect{\lambda}}_{\ell} (\vect{x}-\vect{\ell})^{+} + \Tr{\vect{\lambda}}_{u} (\vect{u}-\vect{x})^{+} + \Tr{\vect{\lambda}}_{ineq} h^{+}(\vect{x})

where \vect{\alpha}^{+}=(\max(0,\alpha_1),\hdots,\max(0,\alpha_n)).

The Lagrange multipliers are stored as (\vect{\lambda}_{eq}, \vect{\lambda}_{\ell}, \vect{\lambda}_{u}, \vect{\lambda}_{ineq}), where:

  • \vect{\lambda}_{eq} is of dimension 0 if there is no equality constraint, else of dimension the dimension of g(\vect{x}) ie the number of scalar equality constraints

  • \vect{\lambda}_{\ell} and \vect{\lambda}_{u} are of dimension 0 if there is no bound constraint, else of dimension of \vect{x}

  • \vect{\lambda}_{eq} is of dimension 0 if there is no inequality constraint, else of dimension the dimension of h(\vect{x}) ie the number of scalar inequality constraints

The vector \vect{\lambda} is solution of the following linear system:

\Tr{\vect{\lambda}}_{eq}\left[\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial\vect{x}}(\vect{x})\right]+ \Tr{\vect{\lambda}}_{\ell}\left[\dfrac{\partial (\vect{x}-\vect{\ell})^{+}}{\partial\vect{x}}(\vect{x})\right]+ \Tr{\vect{\lambda}}_{u}\left[\dfrac{\partial (\vect{u}-\vect{x})^{+}}{\partial\vect{x}}(\vect{x})\right]+ \Tr{\vect{\lambda}}_{ineq}\left[\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial\vect{x}}(\vect{x})\right]=-\dfrac{\partial J}{\partial\vect{x}}(\vect{x})

If there is no constraint of any kind, \vect{\lambda} is of dimension 0, as well as if no constraint is active.
