Abstract
This article presents a discussion of optimization problems where the objective function f(x) has parameters that are constrained by some scaling, so that q(x) = constant, where this function q() involves a sum of the parameters, their squares, or similar simple function. Our focus is on ways to use standardized optimization programs to solve such problems rather than specialized codes. Examples are presented with R.
