Weierstrass Theorem—Existence of a Global Minimum

A set S is closed if it includes all of its boundary points and every sequence of points has a subsequence that converges to a point in the set. This implies that there cannot be strict “< type” or “> type” inequality constraints in the formulation of the problem.
