# {\lambda_i* \ge 0} (Positive Lagrange multipliers)

The feasibility condition (1) applies to both equality and inequality constraints and is simply a statement that the constraints must not be violated at optimal conditions. The gradient condition (2) ensures that there is no feasible direction that could potentially improve the objective function. The last two condition (3 and 4) are only required with inequality constraints and enforce a positive Lagrange multiplier when the constraint is active (=0) and a zero Lagrange multiplier when the constraint is inactive (>0).

The necessary conditions for a constrained local optimum are called the Karush Kuhn Tucker (KKT) Conditions, and these conditions play a very important role in constrained optimization theory and algorithm development. For an optimization problem:
