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 PB MDPI SN 2227-7390 YR 2020 FD 2020-01 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/22720 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/22720 LA eng NO Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities - FEDER DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 22-sep-2026
