**Specification**

- *Alias:* None

- *Arguments:* REALLIST

- *Default:* vector values = 0 .


**Description**


In the equality case, the targets :math:`a_t`  provide the equality constraint right hand sides:

.. math:: Ax = a_t

If this is not specified, the defaults for the equality constraint targets enforce a value of ``0``. for each constraint:

.. math:: Ax = 0.0




**Examples**


Examples of specifying linear equality constraints to Dakota are provided on the :dakkw:`variables-linear_equality_constraint_matrix` page.
