'*' in R is element-wise multiplication and '%*%' implements
matrix/matrix (matrix/vector) multiplication as defined in matrix
algebra. I presume you want to use the latter operator here.

The minimisation is with respect to b.
Note that the objective function contains the inner product of d
(passed to dvec) and b, so d and b must have the same
dimension/length. b contains the parameters/variables over which you
want to minimise. b_0 (passed to bvec) depends on the number of
constraints.
