Software to solve Nonlinear Systems (ineq and eq)

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a system of nonlinear equalities and inequalities related to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) problem. The user seeks guidance on using software, specifically MATLAB or Maple, to compute the solutions for the KKT conditions. They also mention an alternative approach of solving the original minimization problem, which involves minimizing the function s1^2 + s2^2 under specific constraints. The need for effective computational methods for nonlinear systems is emphasized, highlighting the complexity of the problem. Overall, the thread seeks practical advice on leveraging software tools for optimization in nonlinear systems.

Hi everyone,

I've got an optimisation/computing question. I have a system of nonlinear equalities and inequalities, which I've written below for reference. It's the conditions for a minimiser of a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker problem. Would anyone be kind enough to explain how I could use software to compute the solution? I've never really used MATLAB or maple which I assume might be able to do that. A second best would be computing the solution to the original problem, which I've also posted.

Ideally I would like to compute solutions to these, which I hope are the KKT conditions for a minimiser

2s_{1}-\mu_{1}+\lambda_{1}(\frac{5}{2}(\frac{1}{2}s_{1}+<br /> \frac{1}{4}s_{2}+\frac{1}{4})^{4}-1)+\lambda_{2}(\frac{2}{3}<br /> (\frac{1}{3}s_{1}+\frac{1}{3}s_{2}+\frac{1}{3}))=0

2s_{2}-\mu_{2}+\lambda_{1}(\frac{5}{4}(\frac{1}{2}s_{1}+<br /> \frac{1}{4}s_{2}+\frac{1}{4})^{4})+\lambda_{2}<br /> (\frac{2}{3}(\frac{1}{3}s_{1}+\frac{1}{3}s_{2}+<br /> \frac{1}{3})-1)=0

(\frac{1}{2}s_{1}+\frac{1}{4}s_{2}+\frac{1}{4})^{5}-s_{1}=0
(\frac{1}{3}s_{1}+\frac{1}{3}s_{2}+\frac{1}{3})^{2}-s_{2}=0

s_{1},s_{2} \geq 0
\mu_{1},\mu_{2} \geq 0

\mu_{1}s_{1}=0
\mu_{2}s_{2}=0

If that seems a bit unlikely or difficult a second best would be just computing the solution to the original problem which is:

minimise s_{1}^{2}+s_{2}^{2}
such that
(\frac{1}{2}s_{1}+\frac{1}{4}s_{2}+\frac{1}{4})^{5}-s_{1}=0
(\frac{1}{3}s_{1}+\frac{1}{3}s_{2}+\frac{1}{3})^{2}-s_{2}=0

Many thanks,

Peter
