ECE Ph.D. Qualifying Exam: Automatic Control (AC)- Question 3, August 2011

 $ \color{blue}\text{5. } \left( \text{20 pts} \right) \text{ Consider the optimization problem, } $

                            $ \text{optimize} \left(x_{1}-2\right)^{2}+\left(x_{2}-1\right)^{2} $

                        $ \text{subject to } x_{2}- x_{1}^{2}\geq0 $

                                                 $ 2-x_{1}-x_{2}\geq0, x_{1}\geq0. $

$ \color{blue} \text{The point } x^{*}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}^{T} \text{ satisfies the KKT conditions.} $

$ \color{blue}\left( \text{i} \right) \text{Does } x^{*} \text{ satisfy the FONC for minimum or maximum? Where are the KKT multipliers?} $

$ \color{blue}\text{Solution 1:} $

$ \text{ Standard form: optimize} \left(x_{1}-2\right)^{2}+\left(x_{2}-1\right)^{2} $

                                  $ \text{subject to } g_{1}\left( x \right) x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}\leq0 $

                                                           $ g_{2}\left( x \right) x_{1}+x_{2}-2\leq0 $

                                                           $ g_{3}\left( x \right) -x_{1}\leq0 $

$ \text{KKT condition: (1) } Dl\left( \mu ,\lambda \right)=Df\left(x \right)+\mu_{1}Dg_{1}\left( x \right)+\mu_{2}Dg_{2}\left( x \right)+\mu_{3}Dg_{3}\left( x \right) $

$ =\left [ 2x_{1}-4+2\mu_{1}x_{1}+\mu_{2}-\mu_{3}, 2x_{2}-2-\mu_{1}+\mu_{2} \right ] $

$ \left ( 2 \right ) \mu^{T}g\left ( x \right )=0 \Rightarrow \mu_{1}\left ( x_{2}^2-x_{2} \right )+\mu_{2}\left ( x_{1}+x_{2}-2 \right ) - \mu_{3}x_{1}=0 $



$ \color{blue}\text{Solution 2:} $
