These quantities are updated at each step by adding a term proportional to a norm penalty rho in an “alternating direction” method developed by Stephen Boyd et al. A function g of these quantities is maximized at a point d* (“d star”), which equals p* (“p star”) only when a “gap” is zero. Both x and one of (15[1])these quantities are held fixed when differentiating in the statement of the envelope theorem. The kth of these quantities times a function gk (“g-sub-k”) is zero for all k under complementary slackness, which is one of the (*) KKT conditions. The validity of a method based on these quantities follows because the contours (10[1])of two functions must be tangent, so their normal vectors must be parallel. The gradient of the objective is set (10[1])equal to one of these quantities times another gradient in a method (10[1])of constrained optimization.
