The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions are a set of mathematical equations and inequalities that provide necessary conditions for a solution to be optimal in a constrained optimization problem. These conditions are essential in nonlinear programming, as they help identify the points at which the objective function is maximized or minimized while adhering to constraints, whether they are equality or inequality constraints. The KKT conditions extend the method of Lagrange multipliers, incorporating the effects of inequality constraints on the optimization process.
congrats on reading the definition of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker. now let's actually learn it.
