To solve the optimization problem using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, we need to minimize the objective function $f(x_1, x_2, x_3) = x_1^2 + 2x_2^2 + 3x_3^2$ subject to the constraints:

$g_1(x_1, x_2, x_3) = x_1 - x_2 - 2x_3 - 12 \leq 0$ $g_2(x_1, x_2, x_3) = x_1 + 2x_2 - 3x_3 - 8 \leq 0$

Step 1: Formulate the Lagrangian

The Lagrangian function $\mathcal{L}$ is given by:

$\mathcal{L}(x_1, x_2, x_3, \lambda_1, \lambda_2) = f(x_1, x_2, x_3) + \lambda_1 g_1(x_1, x_2, x_3) + \lambda_2 g_2(x_1, x_2, x_3)$

Substituting the functions $f(x_1, x_2, x_3)$, $g_1(x_1, x_2, x_3)$, and $g_2(x_1, x_2, x_3)$, we have:

$\mathcal{L}(x_1, x_2, x_3, \lambda_1, \lambda_2) = x_1^2 + 2x_2^2 + 3x_3^2 + \lambda_1(x_1 - x_2 - 2x_3 - 12) + \lambda_2(x_1 + 2x_2 - 3x_3 - 8)$

Step 2: Compute the Partial Derivatives

To find the KKT conditions, we first need to compute the partial derivatives of the Lagrangian with respect to $x_1$, $x_2$, and $x_3$:

$\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial x_1} = 2x_1 + \lambda_1 + \lambda_2 = 0$ $\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial x_2} = 4x_2 - \lambda_1 + 2\lambda_2 = 0$ $\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial x_3} = 6x_3 - 2\lambda_1 - 3\lambda_2 = 0$

Step 3: KKT Conditions

The KKT conditions are as follows:

1. Stationarity: The partial derivatives with respect to $x_1$, $x_2$, and $x_3$ should be zero: $2x_1 + \lambda_1 + \lambda_2 = 0$ $4x_2 - \lambda_1 + 2\lambda_2 = 0$ $6x_3 - 2\lambda_1 - 3\lambda_2 = 0$

2. Primal feasibility: The constraints must be satisfied: $x_1 - x_2 - 2x_3 - 12 \leq 0$ $x_1 + 2x_2 - 3x_3 - 8 \leq 0$

3. Dual feasibility: The Lagrange multipliers $\lambda_1 \geq 0$ and $\lambda_2 \geq 0$.

4. Complementary slackness: $\lambda_1 \cdot (x_1 - x_2 - 2x_3 - 12) = 0$ $\lambda_2 \cdot (x_1 + 2x_2 - 3x_3 - 8) = 0$

Step 4: Solve the System of Equations

Now, we solve the system of equations derived from the KKT conditions.

1. From $2x_1 + \lambda_1 + \lambda_2 = 0$ (equation 1)
2. From $4x_2 - \lambda_1 + 2\lambda_2 = 0$ (equation 2)
3. From $6x_3 - 2\lambda_1 - 3\lambda_2 = 0$ (equation 3)

Additionally, we consider the complementary slackness conditions:

$\lambda_1(x_1 - x_2 - 2x_3 - 12) = 0$ $\lambda_2(x_1 + 2x_2 - 3x_3 - 8) = 0$

We must analyze different cases:

1. Case 1: $\lambda_1 = 0$ and $\lambda_2 = 0$. This would not satisfy all equations simultaneously.

2. Case 2: $\lambda_1 \neq 0$ and $\lambda_2 = 0$.

   • This would imply $x_1 - x_2 - 2x_3 = 12$.
   • Substitute in the equations and solve.

3. Case 3: $\lambda_1 = 0$ and $\lambda_2 \neq 0$.

   • This would imply $x_1 + 2x_2 - 3x_3 = 8$.
   • Substitute in the equations and solve.

4. Case 4: $\lambda_1 \neq 0$ and $\lambda_2 \neq 0$.

   • Both constraints are active.

Let's analyze and solve these cases.

Solution Steps:

1. Substitute the conditions into the original system of KKT equations.
2. Solve the resulting linear system for $x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$.
3. Check primal and dual feasibility to determine the correct solution.
