Question: Take the function f (x, y) x3y 1 2 y2x2 x4 2x. You want to find the joint minimizer (x0, y0) over x
Take the function f (x, y) Æ ¡x3y Å 1 2 y2x2 Åx4 ¡2x. You want to find the joint minimizer
(x0, y0) over x ¸ 0, y ¸ 0.
(a) Try nested minimization. Given x, find the minimizer of f (x, y) over y. Write this solution as y(x).
(b) Substitute y(x) into f (x, y). Find the minimizer x0.
(c) Find y0.
