Minimize $x^2+6y^2+4z^2$ subject to $x+2y+z-4=0$ and $2x^2+y^2=16$












2














Minimize $x^2+6y^2+4z^2$ subject to $x+2y+z-4=0$ and $2x^2+y^2=16$



My try:



By Lagrange Multiplier method we have



$$L(x,y,z,lambda, mu)=(x^2+6y^2+4z^2)+lambda(x+2y+z-4)+mu(2x^2+y^2-16)$$



For $$L_x=0$$ we get



$$2x+lambda+4mu x=0 tag{1}$$



For $$L_y=0$$ we get



$$12y+2lambda+2mu y=0 tag{2}$$



For $$L_z=0$$ we get



$$8z+lambda=0 tag{3}$$



From $(1)$ and $(2)$ we get



$$x=frac{4 lambda}{1-2mu}$$



$$y=frac{8 lambda}{6-mu}$$



Substituting $x$ , $y$ and $z$ above in constrainst we get



$$2 frac{lambda^2}{(1-2mu)^2}+4 frac{lambda^2}{(6-mu)^2}=1 tag{4}$$



$$frac{4 lambda}{1-2mu}+frac{16 lambda}{6-mu}+frac{lambda}{8}=4 tag{5}$$



But its tedious to solve above equations for $lambda$ and $mu$



Any other approach?

Hint:



Let $u=x^2+6y^2+4(4-2y-x)^2$



$iff5x^2-16(2-y)x+22y^2-16y+16-u=0$



As $x$ is real, the discriminant will be $ge0$



$$implies256(y-2)^2ge20(22y^2-16y+16-u)$$



$$implies64(y-2)^2ge5(22y^2-16y+16-u)$$



$$implies5uge46y^2-176y+176=46left(y-dfrac{44}{23}right)^2+176-46left(dfrac{44}{23}right)^2$$

Since you are assuming that $2x^2+y^2=16$, your problem is equivalent to the problem of minimizing $frac{11}2y^2+4z^2$. But then your first equation becomes $lambda+4mu x=0$, which is much simpler.

With computer I get numeric solution
$$f_{min}=9.445967377367024$$
if
$$x=2.811441051354938\
y=0.4377195786259503\
z=0.3131197913931612$$

Exact values of $x,y,z$ is solutions of equations:
$$2033x^4-800x^3-13960x^2-1792x+6144=0,\
2033y^4-6016y^3-27920y^2+88064y-32768=0,\
2033z^4-19696z^3-84456z^2+176704z-46464=0.$$

We can solve these equations exact and get exact solutions.
However, there are too big expressions.

        $$x=2.811441051354938\
        y=0.4377195786259503\
        z=0.3131197913931612$$

        Exact values of $x,y,z$ is solutions of equations:
        $$2033x^4-800x^3-13960x^2-1792x+6144=0,\
        2033y^4-6016y^3-27920y^2+88064y-32768=0,\
        2033z^4-19696z^3-84456z^2+176704z-46464=0.$$

        We can solve these equations exact and get exact solutions.
        However, there are too big expressions.

        With computer I get numeric solution
        $$f_{min}=9.445967377367024$$
        if
