Hi,
 thanks!

I added meq=1 and it did not seem to work. The result is the same as before.

> x <- 2*c(1,0.5,0.8,0.5,1,0.9, 0.8,0.9,1)
> Dmat <- matrix(x, byrow=T, nrow=3, ncol=3)
> dvec <- numeric(3)
> Amat <- matrix(0,3,4)
> Amat[,1 ] <- c(1,1,1)
> Amat[,2:4 ]<- t(diag(3))
> bvec <- c(3,0,0,0)
>
> solve.QP(Dmat,dvec,Amat,bvec=bvec, meq=1)
$solution
[1]  1.500000e+00  1.500000e+00 -8.881784e-16
$value
[1] 6.75
$unconstrained.solution
[1] 0 0 0
$iterations
[1] 3 0
$Lagrangian
[1] 4.5 0.0 0.0 0.6
$iact
