To guarantee that the minimum will still be reached the implementation of constraints limiting the parameter values together with optimisation algorithms is not a triviality. For this to occur the space and its boundaries must remain smooth thereby allowing the algorithm to move along the boundary to either find the minimum along the limit or to slide along the limit and then move back into the centre of the constrained space once the curvature allows it.
