Active constraint
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Let be given a constrained optimization problem
maximize $f(x)$, $x\in\mathbf R^n$,
subject to $g_i(x)\leq0$, $i=1,\ldots,m$.
The $i$th constraint is said to be active (at a solution $y$) if $g_i(y)=0$.
See also Passive constraint. For a selection of references, see Mathematical programming.
