I'm trying to find an $f$ that solves the following optimization problem:
$\min_{f} \frac{f(x, y)}{f(y, x) \times x}$, where $x$, $y$ are constant positive real numbers.
subject to $f$: $\mathbb{{R}^+}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R^+}$
There are no other restrictions on $f$. I've gotten to this problem by modelling an engineering problem, so I may be able to place additional restrictions on $f$ if it will help lead to a solution. I'd really like to know if a general solution exists, though. I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me in a possible direction to solve this problem.
Thanks!
