    The document solves the problem of minimizing the surface area of a cylinder given a volume constraint. It uses a Lagrange multiplier to reformulate the objective function and finds the stationary point by taking the partial derivatives with respect to the radius, height, and Lagrange multiplier and setting them equal to zero. The stationary point is found to be a height equal to 4V/π times the radius, which equals 0.5(4V/π)1/3, and a Lagrange multiplier of -4(π/4V)1/3.

    Solve the problem of minimizing the surface area of a cylinder of given value V.

    The two design


    variables are the radius and height. The equality constraint is the volume constraint.

    Minimize 2 r 2 + 2 rh

    Subject to
    V = r 2h
    Using a Lagrange multiplier, the objective function is reformulated as
    L = 2 r 2 + 2 rh + ( r 2 h V )

    L
    = 4 r + 2 h + 2 rh

    There is one stationary point. Also both design variables must be greater than zero to be physical.
