For maximizing subject to and , suppose a feasible and multipliers satisfy complementary slackness and globally maximizes
Then globally maximizes on the feasible set. Convexity or concavity hypotheses are commonly used to prove the required global extremum of the Lagrangian from first-order conditions.
