I minimize the sum of squared differences between a current diet and an optimal diet given a set of linear constraints. My understanding is that&nbsp; I am dealing with a strictly convex objective function and the set of linear constraints is also a convex space. Does it mean that the global optimal solution is guaranteed providing that there is a solution or I can have set of local optimal? I am wondering what the community think about that? Any response is greatly appreciated! Thank you!</P> Tue, 10 Apr 2018 20:15:52 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Mathematical-Optimization/global-optimal/m-p/452947#M2219 Lida 2018-04-10T20:15:52Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Mathematical-Optimization/global-optimal/m-p/453565#M2223 <P>Yes, the resulting solution should be globally optimal in this case.</P> Thu, 12 Apr 2018 14:20:43 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Mathematical-Optimization/global-optimal/m-p/453565#M2223 RobPratt 2018-04-12T14:20:43Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Mathematical-Optimization/global-optimal/m-p/453598#M2225 <P>Thank you Rob for the confirmation.
