Nonlinear programming in normed linear spaces

Necessary conditions in the form of multiplier rules are given for a function to have a constrained minimum. First-order differentiability conditions are imposed, and various combinations of set, equality, and inequality constraints are considered in arbitrary normed linear spaces.This paper is based upon part of the author's doctoral dissertation at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio.     

Proper Efficiency in Vector Optimization on Real Linear Spaces

In this paper, we use an algebraic type of closure, which is called vector closure, and through it we introduce some adaptations to the proper efficiency in the sense of Hurwicz, Benson, and Borwein in real linear spaces without any particular topology. Scalarization, multiplier rules, and saddle-point theorems are obtained in order to characterize the proper efficiency in vector optimization with and without constraints. The usual convexlikeness concepts used in such theorems are weakened through the vector closure.     

Optimality Conditions for Vector Optimization Problems with Generalized Convexity in Real Linear Spaces

In this paper we consider mainly vector optimization problems under generalized cone-convexlikeness and generalized cone-subconvexlikeness in real linear spaces having or not topology. We establish the adapted definitions to wide frame of real linear spaces, and we show the characterizations for several concepts of generalized convexity and the relationships among them. From separation theorems, some characterizations of efficiency and weak efficiency are given in terms of scalarization. A new extension of Gordan-form alternative theorem is given here, and derived from it, we obtain optimality conditions by means of linear operators rules and saddle point criterions.     

On the Sobolev trace Theorem for variable exponent spaces in the critical range

In this paper, we study the Sobolev trace Theorem for variable exponent spaces with critical exponents. We find conditions on the best constant in order to guaranty the existence of extremals. Then, we give local conditions on the exponents and on the domain (in the spirit of Adimurthy and Yadava) in order to satisfy such conditions and therefore to ensure the existence of extremals.     

Scalar Lagrange Multiplier Rules for Set-Valued Problems in Infinite-Dimensional Spaces

This paper deals with Lagrange multiplier rules for constrained set-valued optimization problems in infinite-dimensional spaces, where the multipliers appear as scalarization functions of the maps instead of the derivatives. These rules provide necessary conditions for weak minimizers under hypotheses of stability, convexity, and directional compactness. Counterexamples show that the hypotheses are minimal.     

Fourier multipliers on the real Hardy spaces

We provide a variant of Hytönen’s embedding theorem, which allows us to extend and unify several sufficient conditions for a function to be a Fourier multiplier on the real Hardy spaces.     

The Lagrange multiplier rule for super efficiency in vector optimization

In this paper, we study constrained multiobjective optimization problems with objectives being closed-graph multifunctions in Banach spaces. In terms of the coderivatives and Clarke's normal cones, we establish Lagrange multiplier rules for super efficiency as necessary or sufficient optimality conditions of the above problems.     

On necessary and sufficient conditions in vector optimization

It is shown that some general multiplier rules are necessary conditions for vector optimization in infinite-dimensional spaces. Under additional convexity assumptions, these conditions are sufficient. As an application, the Pontryagin maximum principle for cooperative differential games is examined.The authors are grateful to Professor W. Stadler and the referees of the previous edition of this paper for their valuable remarks and suggestions, which have been very helpful in the preparation of this paper.

Higher-order necessary conditions for infinite and semi-infinite optimization

In this paper, we present a unified theory of first-order and higher-order necessary optimality conditions for abstract vector optimization problems in normed linear spaces. We prove general multiplier rules, from which nearly all known first-order, second-order, and higher-order necessary conditions can be derived. In the last section, we prove higher-order necessary conditions for semi-infinite programming problems.This work was developed within the Forschungsschwerpunkt Dynamische Systeme, Universität Bremen, Bremen, West Germany.The author wishes to thank Prof. Dr. D. Hinrichsen for his helpful remarks and discussions during the preparation of this work.     

General Lagrange multiplier theorems

A cone constraint is used to develop a general Lagrange multiplier theorem for normed linear spaces. Conditions for the payoff functional multiplier to be less than zero are given for Banach spaces. Sufficiency theorems involving Lagrange multipliers are developed for abstract programming problems. Generalizations of certain properties of convex functions will be used for optimization problems.     

OPERATOR-VALUED FOURIER MULTIPLIER THEOREMS ON TRIEBEL SPACES

1IntroductionIn a series of recent publications operator-valued Fourier multipliers on vector-valued func-tion spaces were studied(see e.g.[1,2,3,5,6,7,14,16]).They are needed to establish existence anduniqueness as well as regularity of di?erential equat…     

Equi-surjective systems of linear operators and applications

In this paper we study a system of linear operators between finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. Emphasis is made on unbounded systems and sufficient conditions are established for their equi-surjectivity. An application is presented in which a system of approximate Jacobian matrices is used to obtain a parametric interior mapping theorem. A multiplier rule for vector problems is also derived.     

On the Sobolev embedding theorem for variable exponent spaces in the critical range

In this paper we study the Sobolev embedding theorem for variable exponent spaces with critical exponents. We find conditions on the best constant in order to guaranty the existence of extremals. The proof is based on a suitable refinement of the estimates in the Concentration–Compactness Theorem for variable exponents and an adaptation of a convexity argument due to P.L. Lions, F. Pacella and M. Tricarico.     

Interpolating Sequences for Besov Spaces

We characterise the interpolating sequences for the Besov spaces B_p and for their multiplier spaces. We also construct linear operators of interpolation.     

Optimality Conditions in Differentiable Vector Optimization via Second-Order Tangent Sets

We provide second-order necessary and sufficient conditions for a point to be an efficient element of a set with respect to a cone in a normed space, so that there is only a small gap between necessary and sufficient conditions. To this aim, we use the common second-order tangent set and the asymptotic second-order cone utilized by Penot. As an application we establish second-order necessary conditions for a point to be a solution of a vector optimization problem with an arbitrary feasible set and a twice Fréchet differentiable objective function between two normed spaces. We also establish second-order sufficient conditions when the initial space is finite-dimensional so that there is no gap with necessary conditions. Lagrange multiplier rules are also given.

Dual variational principles with deviating argument and discontinuous extremals

We study dual or complementary variational principles for functionals with deviating argument and discontinuous extremals. Local conditions for the existence of a pair of dual extremum principles are given. Results are then applied to the control problem involving linear neutral differential-difference equations.     

Operator-valued Fourier Multipliers on Periodic Triebel Spaces

We establish operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems on periodic Triebel spaces, where the required smoothness of the multipliers depends on the indices of the Triebel spaces. This is used to give a characterization of the maximal regularity in the sense of Triebel spaces for Cauchy problems with periodic boundary conditions.
