KKT Conditions in Optimization Problems

This tutorial explains the use of Cocker equations for inequality constraints, focusing on transforming problems into standard form and solving quadratic programming problems. It covers the assumptions of binding constraints, the use of Lagrange multipliers, and the application of KKT conditions to find solutions and check for optimality.
