Constrained Optimization Survival Guide
... The standard consumer’s problem is to maximize utility under a budget constraint. This is exactly the type of problem that Lagrange multipliers are designed to deal with. Example 1:. Utility is u(x, y) = xy. The price of x is $5. The price of y is $3. We have $15 to spend. Thus we maximize utility u ...
