simple numerical solve (2-variables!!)
Hello,
Thanks for the help, I'm trying to move from Mathematica to Sage, but I'm still having some trouble with the basics. Specifically, I'm moving from 1-var to 2-var numerical optimization/solver. I want to optimize function g or, equivalently, solve the system of first-order conditions, f. So far, I have not been able to get any of the scipy routines to work. Is there a simple way to do this? (Note: the objective function is concave wrt to both arguments.)
Thanks! jv
Constants
y_a = 50 y_b = 50 x = 40 alpha_a = .2 alpha_b = .2
Functions
v(n)= n^.5 v1(n) = derivative(v(n),n) u(n)= n^.5 u1(n) = derivative(u(n),n)
Variables
var('g_a') var('x_a')
Optimization (over [0, x])
g = (v(g_a+alpha_b(x-g_a))-u(y_a)+u(y_a-x_a))(v(x-g_a+alpha_a*(g_a))-u(y_b)+u(y_b-(x-x_a)))
f1 = ((1-alpha_b)v1(g_a+alpha_b(x - g_a)))/((1-alpha_a)v1(x-g_a+alpha_a(g_a)))==(v(g_a+alpha_b(x-g_a))-u(y_a)+u(y_a-x_a))/(v(x-g_a+alpha_a(g_a))-u(y_b)+u(y_b-(x-x_a)))
f2 = (u1(x_a)/u1(x-x_a)) == (v(g_a+alpha_b(x-g_a))-u(y_a)+u(y_a-x_a))/(v(x-g_a+alpha_a(g_a))-u(y_b)+u(y_b-(x-x_a)))
f(g_a, x_a) = (f1, f2)
Did you completely change your question? If you have another question to ask, please revert this one to its first version and ask your second question as a separate topic.
Hi mattias. If you restore the first question and ask the second as a separate one I can show how to obtain (20,20) as the answer
