I'm having some trouble understanding the following proof (##a_{ik}## and ##b_{ik}## are constants)
Shouldn't it be ##a_{ik}q_iq_k - \frac 1 {\lambda} (b_{ik}q_iq_k-1)## ?
(Summation convention is used)
Thanks Ric
Our problem is to find the stationary value of ##a_{ik}q_iq_k## under the auxiliary condition the we move on the surface ##b_{ik}q_iq_j = 1##.
We drop the auxiliary condition and minimize ##a_{ik}q_iq_k - \frac 1 {\lambda} b_{ik}q_iq_k##.
Shouldn't it be ##a_{ik}q_iq_k - \frac 1 {\lambda} (b_{ik}q_iq_k-1)## ?
