= Solution

Both terms $x^6$ and $\tfrac32y^4$ are nonnegative, and they vanish simultaneously only at $(0,0)$. That point satisfies $x^4+2y^2\leq3$. Consequently
$$
\boxed{(x_*,y_*)=(0,0),\qquad F_*=0,}
$$
and the <global minimum> is unique. No <Lagrange multiplier> calculation is needed: nonnegativity gives a <lower bound> attained at a <feasible point>.
