An introduction to duality theory in nonlinear programming, covering the geometrical framework, lagrange multipliers, and the dual problem. It includes examples of problems where a lagrange multiplier exists and does not exist, as well as the weak duality theorem and the relationship between the optimal primal and dual values.
