Popis: where u is a column vector of k components and prime denotes transpose. The D-optimal design problem is to determine a A which maximizes log det M(A). Now log det is a concave function on the set of nonnegative-definite symmetric matrices and so the D-optimal problem can be regarded as a particular case of the following one, which we shall call the qs-optimal design problem: given a concave function q6 on the nonnegativedefinite symmetric k x k matrices, determine A to maximize q{M(A)}. Recently, one line of research has shown that much of the highly developed theory of D-optimal design can be generalized to qs-optimal design (Fedorov, 1972, Chapter 2; Kiefer, 1974; Whittle, 1973). Another has shown how Lagrangian theory can be exploited in the D-optimal design area (Silvey, 1972; Sibson, 1972a, b; Silvey & Titterington, 1973). It is the object of the present note to develop the Lagrangian approach to the q6optimal problem.
