Problem: minx∈X†f (x),†where:
(a) X†⊂ n†^ is nonempty, convex, and closed. (b) f†is continuously differentiable over X.

Proposition (Optimality Condition)
(a) If x†∗^ is a local minimum of f†over X, then
∇f (x†∗)′(x†− x†∗) ≥ 0 ,† ∀ x†∈ X.†
(b) If f†is convex over X, then this condition is also sufficient for x†∗^ to minimize f†over X.

At a local minimum x†^ ∗ , the gradient ∇f†(x†∗) makes an angle less than or equal to 90 degrees with all fea- sible variations x−x†^ ∗ , x†∈ X.
Illustration of failure of the optimality condition when X† is not convex. Here x†^ ∗ is a local min but we have ∇f (x†∗)′(x†− x†∗) <† 0 for the feasible vector x†shown.
