Hello, and thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this
I'm trying to learn to properly optimize a function with a constraint using
R. For example, maximize the area of a terrain with a maximum perimeter.
For this example the function would be:
Area <- function(x,y){x*y}
The restriction would be the following function:
Perimeter <- function(x,y){2*(x+y)}
The idea is to give a desired value to "Perimeter" and get the values of x
& y that maximize the area and respect the constraint.
I've searched online for some time, and only found a video of a dude that
plotted the functions toggling the values to find the tangent optimum point
(something useless, because the idea is to make the optimization more
efficiently than using a paper and a pencil)
Thanks again, and sorry if this question is silly.
