I have to find max,min of $f(x,y,z)=1/(3x^2 +z^2)$constrained on a region $D$
$D =x^2+z^2-y^2-3le 0$ -> $g(x,y,z)=x^2+z^2-y^2-3=0$
- I used the Lagrange multiplier method: and I got the points
$P_1(pmsqrt3,0,0)$->$f(P_1)=1/9$
$P_2(0,0,pmsqrt3)$->$f(P_2)=1/3$
- So My question is : (with the fact that $f(x,y,z)$ doesn't contain a $y$ )It is more correct to write the points with $y = 0$ or with $y=y$, like that:
$P_1a(pmsqrty^2+3,0,0)$->$f(P_1a)=1/(3y^2+9)$
$P_2a(0,0,pmsqrty^2+3)$->$f(P_2a)=1/(y^2+3)$

I haven´t checked the calculation, but $y=y$ is the right intuition.

The cost function is not defined for $x=z=0$? It is unbounded above nearby. Furthermore, by appropriate choice of $y$, you can make the cost be any value in $(0,infty)$, so it has no $min$ either. In particular, the $inf$ is zero and the $sup$ is $=infty$. Lagrange is sort of irrelevant here.

If in both case you have obtained $y=0$ then we need to set $y=0$.

my question arises from the fact that the second equation of the Lagrange system is : $0+lambda (-2y)=0$ that means that it is TRUE for $y=0$ or $lambda =0$

($x=0$ and $z=0$) is not defined for real numbers
