I included all the vars in Minimize and changed the conditions to
avoid divisions by zero:
In:= Minimize[{m1 w1 + m2 w2,
w1 > 0 && p1 - m2 p1 + p2 - m1 p2 == (1 + m) (-1 + m1) (-1 + m2) &&
m1 >= 0 && m2 > m1 && w2 > 0 && w1 + w2 == 1 && 1 > m > 0 &&
p1 > 0 && p2 > 0 && p1 + p2 == 1}, {m, m1, m2, p1, p2, w1, w2}]
During evaluation of In[16]:= Minimize::wksol: Warning: There is no
minimum in the region in which the objective function is defined and
the constraints are satisfied; returning a result on the boundary. >>
Out= {0,{m->0,m1->0,m2->0,p1->1,p2->0,w1->1,w2->0}}
Does this make sense for your problem?
