Contrasting Two Transformation-Based Methods for Obtaining Absolute Extrema

Optimization and Control 2008-03-30 v1

Abstract

In this note we contrast two transformation-based methods to deduce absolute extrema and the corresponding extremizers. Unlike variation-based methods, the transformation-based ones of Carlson and Leitmann and the recent one of Silva and Torres are direct in that they permit obtaining solutions by inspection.
