  • In our introduction to Lagrange Multipliers we looked at the geometric meaning and saw an example when our goal was to optimize a function (i.e. find maximums and minimums) subject to ONE constraint: • Lagrange Multipliers |...
    Now we are upgrading to the case of optimizing with two constraints. We will look at how to interpret the lagrange multiplier method geometrically for two constrains, and then see a full example. We will also look at the geometry of the special case of optimization function: the distance.

    Hi Trefor, you made it look easy. Thank you👍 I didn't understand why grad f is a linear combination of gradients of the two constraints. Shouldn't grad f be perpendicular to the line of intersection of constraints? Can't one find the gradient of the intersection line and then proceed the same way as Lagrange multiplier case for a single constraint?

    • @DrTrefor

      This is a fine method, but often finding a nice description for that line of intersection is highly non trivial

      it is just shorthand for a "1 dimensional sphere" and a "2 dimensional sphere" and you could go further o an n dimensional sphere which are all he points in n+1 dimensions of equal length fro the origin.

      me neither. I understood gradient f and gradient g are parallel. However, if gradient g1 and gradient g2 form a plane, and gradient f is normal to the plane, it means gradient f is at the same time perpendicular to both gradients of g1 and g2.

    Im completely lost from the statement "the normal to g2 surface is gradient of g1".
    At 2:35 that vector really looks normal to g1 surface rather than g2, which is inconsistent with the audio saying that's the normal to g2?
    Is there a video in the playlist explaining this?
    My understanding of gradient vectors stopped at the "Geometric Meaning of the Gradient Vector", where it lives in the x-y plane and points to direction of steepest ascent on the surface.
    It seems that the gradients in this video do not stay flat on x-y plane. How can they be visualized and is there a video in playlist on gradients that don't live in just x-y plane and their geometric meaning?
    How would these g1 g2 and f gradients look on the geogebra example in last part of video? I wish the later example referred back to the theory in the first part of video.

    • @robinbernardinis

      The intersection of the restraints is 1 dimensional, so there can't be saddle points. In general, though, Lagrange Multipliers give you candidates for extremes, you have to manually verify whether they actually are maximums or minimums.

      2) x = z; when you put this in the other equations you find x = - 3 ==> z = - 3

    Is it possible to avoid the Lagrange multipliers altogether by saying that the determinant of all the gradients is zero? This plus however many constraints you have should be enough to make it work as long as you have exactly one less constraint than the number of variables.

      I'm not a mathematician, so please filter my answer. I solve this problem like what you said. 1st, make an equation that the determinant of all the gradient(g1, g2) is zero.
      2nd, dot product of grad f and determint of (grad g1, grad g2) is 0.
      It can be solved with this method.

      the complexity from choosing a "harder" function means that the skillset needed to solve it goes deeper into things not directly related to Lagrange multipliers. it's better to introduce new information by focusing specifically on the new information
