Abstract:
In this paper we study nonlinear semidefinite programming problems. Convexity, duality and first-order optimality conditions for such problems are presented. A second-order analysis is also given. Second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are derived. Finally, sensitivity analysis of such programs is discussed.
