    By "optimize", do you mean "maximize"? In which case, it can be arbitrarily large. Or perhaps you mean to maximise its volume - surface area ratio?

    The question seems to be incomplete. Usually an optimisation problem includes some constraint - for example, a maximum surface area for the cylinder.

A formula for the volume of a cylinder depending on its height is



$$V(h) = hcdot A$$



where $A$ is the area of its base. This area is given by $A = r^2cdot pi$. Now unless any other conditions are placed on the cylinder then by letting $h$ get bigger the volume grows and therefore there is no maximum volume. Minimum would occur when $h=0$ but then it is hardly a cylinder...

            0 I need to display a custom attribute bellow the product name and I don't know how can I call this attribute. I am editing the file /app/design/frontend/templatemela/MAG100219_1/template/catalog/product/view.phtml But how can I call this attribute in php? I tried calling a string echo with the name I put in the attribute, but it didn't work. Code is as below: <div class="page-title product-title"> <h1><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'name') ?></h1> </div> <div class="codigoinmetro"> <h2><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'registroinmetro') ?></h2> </div> php attrib...
