A nonlinear optimization problem

79 Views Asked by At

Can you please help me how can solve the following nonlinear program by indicating some useful reference or videos relevant to this problem? With my limited knowledge in this field, I tried to solve it using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, but it is not working.

\begin{alignat*}{2} \text{maximize } \qquad & f(x_1, x_2 , x_3 , x_4, x_5, x_6)=\Big[8\left(x_1^{3} + x_2^{3} + x_3^{3} + x_4^{3} + x_5^{3} + x_6^{3}\right) \Big]^{\frac{2}{3}} \\ \text{subject to } \qquad & 4\left(x_1^{2} + x_2^{2} + x_3^{2} + x_4^{2}\right) \le 1\\ & 4\left(x_3^{2} + x_4^{2} + x_5^{2} + x_6^{2}\right) \le 1\\ & 4\left(x_1^{2} + x_2^{2} + x_5^{2} + x_6^{2}\right) \le 1\\ & x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, x_6 \ge 0. \end{alignat*}

$$f=\left(8\sum_{k=1}^6x_k^2\right)^{\!\!\frac{2}{3}}\leq\left(4\cdot\frac{3}{4}\right)^{\!\!\frac{2}{3}}=\sqrt[3]{9}.$$ The equality occurs for $x_k=\frac{1}{4},$ which says that we got a maximal value.
