Fritz John is a mathematician known for his contributions to applied mathematics, particularly in the field of optimization. One of his significant contributions is the formulation of the Fritz-John conditions, which are necessary conditions for optimality in nonlinear programming problems. These conditions are an extension of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, and they apply to problems where the objective function and constraints may not necessarily be differentiable.
