Synopsis

Dual extremum principles characterising the solutions of problems for a positive-definite self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space which involve unilateral constraints are formulated using a Hilbert space decomposition theorem due to Moreau. Various upper and lower bounds to these solutions are then obtained, these bounds involving the solutions to subsidiary problems with less restrictive conditions than the solution to the original problem.
