This problem comes from a remodeling of max parallel to Ax parallel to subject to min parallel to Bx parallel to, because the latter problem has no solution. Our mathematical method comes from the Abstract Operator Theory, whose strong machinery allows us to reduce the first problem to max parallel to Cx parallel to subject to parallel to x parallel to <= 1, which can be solved exactly by relying on supporting vectors. Finally, as appendices, we provide two applications of our solution: first, we construct a truly optimal minimum stored-energy Transcranian Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) coil, and second, we find an optimal geolocation involving statistical variables %K maxmin %K supporting vector %K matrix norm %K TMS coil %K optimal geolocation %~ Universidad de Cádiz
