Hi,

I am trying to minimize the following energy function subject to two-sided inequalities:

E = x1+x2 k1 <= x1 <= k2 k3 <= x2 <= k4 k5 <= x1-x2 <= k6 The ki's are constants and the inequalities create a convex region.

Is this how you turn the above problem into standard form?

E = x1+x2 x1-x2+x3 = k6 x1-x2-x4 = k5 k1 <= x1 <= k2 k3 <= x2 <= k4

Try asking this on stackoveflow. This site is not a Matlab help forum. – Dima Pasechnik Jul 14 at 10:03

Even with the references to Matlab removed, it's not a research-level question. By the way, "standard form" is not so standard: there are many different versions. – Robert Israel Jul 16 at 18:00
