Each efficient portfolio represents weights on each of the asset classes. The only constraint...
 
the sum of all the weights should be equal to one.

If we add an additional constraint of no short sales, we restrict the value of the weights...
 
greater than or equal to zero.

Here we have an additional constraint that the weight of each asset class be
 
non-negative.

In case of a constrained optimization (no short sales in this case), the minimum variance frontier...
 
a smooth curve to one with corner portfolios.
