Hi,
What type of constraints do you have? If they are inequality constraints, you do not need to impose them using the lagrangian. You can specify them separately.
The help page does not say anything about equality constraints. The documentation on http://arumat.net/Rdonlp2 recommenda that you set the upper and lower limits to be equal to impose this.
IN any case, you do not need to specify the lagrangian.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.
