Lagrange Multipliers A formal procedure for determining a maximum point in a continuous function subect to one or more constraints. : continuous function. f ( x, y, x) f f f df dx dy dz 0 x y z at maximum (or minimum) Since x, y, z are independent, changes dx, dy, dz are also independent. Hence at maximum, f f f 0 x y z But x, y, z are interrelated to each other, gxyx (,, ) 0 ---(*) () Then eq.(*) is no longer valid!

14 In physical systems, the particles being considered d (electrons, atoms ) are indistinguishable and hence must obey either Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics. The Boltzmann model for a system of independent particles is not really a reasonable picture of anything existing in nature. However, most gases at low to moderate density, the number of quantum states available at any level is much larger than the number of particles in the level. N > ee 1 g ( g N 1)!
