Figure 8.4. The Gradient Cone: At optimality, the cost vector c is obtuse with<br />

respect to the directions formed by the binding constraints. It is also contained<br />

inside the cone of the gradients of the binding constraints, which we will discuss at<br />

length later.<br />

Exercise 62. Consider the problem:<br />

max x1 + x2<br />

s.t. 2x1 + x2 ≤ 4<br />

x1 + 2x2 ≤ 6<br />

x1, x2 ≥ 0<br />

Write the KKT conditions for an optimal point for this problem. (You will have a vector<br />

w = [w1 w2] and a vector v = [v1 v2]).<br />

Draw the feasible region of the problem. At the optimal point you identified in Exercise<br />

58, identify the binding constraints and draw their gradients. Show that the objective<br />

function is in the positive cone of the gradients of the binding constraints at this point.<br />

(Specifically find w and v.)<br />

The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker Conditions for an Equality Problem. The KKT conditions<br />

can be modified to deal with problems in which we have equality constraints (i.e.,<br />

Ax = b).<br />

Corollary 8.11. Consider the linear programming problem:<br />
