Topic: Support Vector Machine Question

I have a question about the implementation of a support vector machine for the non-separable case.

In this case, the usual constraints on the lagrange multipliers become:

0 <= alpha_i <= C

where C is the coefficient of the slack variable term in the objective function.

We then solve the optimization problem, use the KKT conditions to find w and use the KKT conditions for any point for which alpha < C, to find the offset parameter b.

My question is, what do we do if all alphas equal C. How do we find b in that case?

Thanks
