Hello, I would like to maximize a function, adding the constraint that a
different function is also big enough. To make it clear, what I would
want to ask Mathematica to do is the following:
NMaximize[{F(a,b,c),F2(a,b,c)>=NMaximize[F2(a,d,e),{d,e}]},{a,b,c}]
I had expected (hoped) that Mathematica would substitute the value of
*a*
it is currently considering for the outer nMax in the inner nMax, but it
doesn't: the inner nMax complains that F2(a,d,e) is not a number at
{d,e}={<number1>,<number2>}
Is there any way I can ask Mathematica to use the same value of *a*
outside and inside?
Thanks
Manolo
