Generalized fractional programming: Optimality and duality theory

The generalized fractional programming problem with a finite number of ratios in the objective is studied. Optimality and duality results are established, some with the help of an auxiliary problem and some directly. Convexity and stability of the auxiliary problem play a key role in the latter part of the paper.The authors are grateful to an unknown referee for suggesting the statement of Theorem 3.3.
