If an optimal solution exists for a nonlinear fractional programming problem, then this solution is shown to be obtainable by solving two associated programming problems whose objective functions are no longer fractional. A certain restriction is assumed on the constraint sets of the latter problems. This result includes various known theorems as special cases.
