Dear MathGroup, <wolfrum at cs.uni-bonn.de> asked the question below, and several fine answers have been posted. I have a related question.... What if the constraint: abs(x+y) = 1 is replaced by a new constaint: abs(x+y) <= 1 How can one solve a problem like this in Mma?? Thank you for your help Dave ====================================== > >Hi, > >I'm not yet quite familiar with all Mathematica features >(who is?) and I'm looking for a solution of a rather >simple problem.
