Generalized concavity and duality with a square root term

Duality results for a class of nondifferentiable mathematical programming problems are given. These results allow for the weakening of the usual convexity conditions required for duality to hold. A pair of symmetric and self dual nondifferentiable programs under weaker convexity conditions are also given. A subgradient symmetric duality is proposed and its limitations discussed. Finally, a pair of nondifferentiable mathematical programs containing arbitrary norms is presented.     

Symmetric duality for a class of multiobjective fractional programming problems

This paper is concerned with symmetric duality for a class of nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programming problems. Two weak duality theorems and two strong duality theorems are proved. Discussion on some special cases shows that results in this paper extend previous work in this area.     

A class of nondifferentiable control problems

Optimality conditions and duality results are obtained for a class of control problems having a nondifferentiable term in the integrand of the objective functional. These results generalize many well-known results in optimal control theory involving differentiable functions, and also provide a relationship with certain nondifferentiable mathematical programming problems. Some extensions concerning the unified treatment of optimal control theory and continuous programming are also mentioned. Finally, a control problem containing an arbitrary norm, along with its appropriate norm, is given.     

ρ-Invex Functions and ( F , ρ)Convex Functions: Properties and Equivalences

-invexity, -pseudo invexity and -quasi invexity (and their extentions to nondifferentiable Lipschitz functions) have been used to weaken the assumption of convexity in solving duality problems or to state sufficient optimality conditions in nonlinear programming. An attempt to generalize further these concepts has been done with the introduction of ( F , )convexity for differentiable and nondifferentiable Lipschitz functions. Theorems and results regarding both the duality problems and the sufficience of Kuhn-Tucker conditions have been reproduced for these new classes of functions. The aim of this article is to show that for both differentiable and nondifferentiable Lipschitz functions ( F , )convexity is not a generalization of -invexity, but these families of functions coincide.     

Second-Order Duality for Nondifferentiable Multiobjective Programming Problems

This paper is concerned with second-order duality for a class of nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problems. Usual duality theorems are proved for Mangasarian type and general Mond–Weir type vector duals under generalized bonvexity assumptions.     

A note on higher-order nondifferentiable symmetric duality in multiobjective programming

In this work, we establish a strong duality theorem for Mond–Weir type multiobjective higher-order nondifferentiable symmetric dual programs. This fills some gaps in the work of Chen [X. Chen, Higher-order symmetric duality in nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problems, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 290 (2004) 423–435].     

Nonsmooth minimax programming under locally Lipschitz (Φ, ρ)-invexity

Minimax programming problems involving locally Lipschitz (Φ, ρ)-invex functions are considered. The parametric and non-parametric necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a class of nonsmooth minimax programming problems are obtained under nondifferentiable (Φ, ρ)-invexity assumption imposed on objective and constraint functions. When the sufficient conditions are utilized, parametric and non-parametric dual problems in the sense of Mond-Weir and Wolfe may be formulated and duality results are derived for the considered nonsmooth minimax programming problem. With the reference to the said functions we extend some results of optimality and duality for a larger class of nonsmooth minimax programming problems.     

Optimality Conditions and Duality for?Nondifferentiable Multiobjective Fractional Programming Problems with?(C,α,ρ,d)-convexity

The purpose of this paper is to consider a class of nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programming problems in which every component of the objective function contains a term involving the support function of a compact convex set. Based on the (C,α,ρ,d)-convexity, sufficient optimality conditions and duality results for weakly efficient solutions of the nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programming problem are established. The results extend and improve the corresponding results in the literature.     

Duality for nondifferentiable minimax programming in complex spaces

Employing the optimality (necessary and sufficient) conditions of a nondifferentiable minimax programming problem in complex spaces, we formulate a one-parametric dual and a parameter free dual problems. On both dual problems, we establish three duality theorems: weak, strong, and strict converse duality theorem, and prove that there is no duality gap between the two dual problems with respect to the primal problem under some generalized convexities of complex functions in the complex programming problem.

We introduce a symmetric dual pair for a class of nondifferentiable multi-objective fractional variational problems. Weak, strong, converse and self duality relations are established under certain invexity assumptions. The paper includes extensions of previous symmetric duality results for multi-objective fractional variational problems obtained by Kim, Lee and Schaible [D.S. Kim, W.J. Lee, S. Schaible, Symmetric duality for invex multiobjective fractional variational problems, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 289 (2004) 505-521] and symmetric duality results for the static case obtained by Yang, Wang and Deng [X.M. Yang, S.Y. Wang, X.T. Deng, Symmetric duality for a class of multiobjective fractional programming problems, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 274 (2002) 279-295] to the dynamic case.

We establish weak, strong and strict converse duality theorems in the framework of generalized convexity in order to relate the optimal solutions of primal and dual problems. Our study improves and extends some of the known results in the literature.

Nondifferentiable Minimax Fractional Programming Problems with (C, α, ρ, d)-Convexity

In this paper, we present necessary optimality conditions for nondifferentiable minimax fractional programming problems. A new concept of generalized convexity, called (C, α, ρ, d)-convexity, is introduced. We establish also sufficient optimality conditions for nondifferentiable minimax fractional programming problems from the viewpoint of the new generalized convexity. When the sufficient conditions are utilized, the corresponding duality theorems are derived for two types of dual programs. This research was partially supported by NSF and Air Force grants     

On duality theorems for a nondifferentiable minimax fractional programming

The optimality conditions of [Lai et al. (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 230 (1999) 311)] can be used to construct two kinds of parameter-free dual models of nondifferentiable minimax fractional programming problems which involve pseudo-/quasi-convex functions. In this paper, the weak duality, strong duality, and strict converse duality theorems are established for the two dual models.     

Optimality conditions and duality for nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programming with generalized convexity

In this paper, we consider nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programming problems. A concept of generalized convexity, which is called (C,α,ρ,d)-convexity, is first discussed. Based on this generalized convexity, we obtain efficiency conditions for multiobjective fractional programming (MFP). Furthermore, we establish duality results for three types of dual problems of (MFP) and present the corresponding duality theorems.
