Aug 1, 2012 at 6:53 comment added Suvrit @Ron: you might have better luck with this question at math.stackexchange.com --- essentially, you have $m\times n$ variables, so the brute force way is to write FONC for each element. Using some matrix differential calculus, depending on $f$, you might be able to write these conditions more compactly...

Aug 1, 2012 at 5:54 comment added Ron That was my guess. My main question is whether you write an FOC for each element of the matrix, and then extra $n$ FOCs for the multipliers resulting from the contraints, or whether the matrix FOCs can somehow be applied for vectors, as the columns are constrained and not really free to move independently. I guess I'll go the element by element way.
