Second order symmetric duality in multiobjective programming involving generalized cone-invex functions

In this paper, cone-second order pseudo-invex and strongly cone-second order pseudo-invex functions are defined. A pair of Mond–Weir type second order symmetric dual multiobjective programs is formulated over arbitrary cones. Weak, strong and converse duality theorems are established under aforesaid generalized invexity assumptions. A second self-duality theorem is also given by assuming the functions involved to be skew-symmetric.     

Optimality conditions and duality for a minimax fractional programming with generalized convexity

We establish the sufficient conditions for generalized fractional programming from a viewpoint of the generalized convexity. When the sufficient conditions are utilized, the corresponding duality theorems are derived for two types of duals of the generalized fractional programming. We extend the corresponding results of several authors.

Minimax mixed integer symmetric duality for multiobjective variational problems

A Mond–Weir type multiobjective variational mixed integer symmetric dual program over arbitrary cones is formulated. Applying the separability and generalized F-convexity on the functions involved, weak, strong and converse duality theorems are established. Self duality theorem is proved. A close relationship between these variational problems and static symmetric dual minimax mixed integer multiobjective programming problems is also presented.

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.

Husain is supported by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, under the NBHM Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program No. 40/9/2005-R&D II/2398.     

On sufficiency and duality for a class of interval-valued programming problems

In this paper, we are concerned with an interval-valued programming problem. Sufficient optimality conditions are established under generalized convex functions for a feasible solution to be an efficient solution. Appropriate duality theorems for Mond-Weir and Wolfe type duals are discussed in order to relate the efficient solutions of primal and dual programs.     

Higher order duality in multiobjective fractional programming with support functions

In this paper a new class of higher order (F,ρ,σ)-type I functions for a multiobjective programming problem is introduced, which subsumes several known studied classes. Higher order Mond-Weir and Schaible type dual programs are formulated for a nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programming problem where the objective functions and the constraints contain support functions of compact convex sets in Rn. Weak and strong duality results are studied in both the cases assuming the involved functions to be higher order (F,ρ,σ)-type I. A number of previously studied problems appear as special cases.

Sufficiency and duality in nondifferentiable multiobjective programming involving generalized type I functions

Recently, Hachimi and Aghezzaf defined generalized (F,α,ρ,d)-type I functions, a new class of functions that unifies several concepts of generalized type I functions. In this paper, the generalized (F,α,ρ,d)-type I functions are extended to nondifferentiable functions. By utilizing the new concepts, we obtain several sufficient optimality conditions and prove mixed type and Mond-Weir type duality results for the nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problem.     

Symmetric duality for minimax multiobjective variational mixed integer programming problems with partial-invexity

A pair of symmetric dual multiobjective variational mixed integer programs for the polars of arbitrary cones are formulated, which some primal and dual variables are constrained to belong to the set of integers. Under the separability with respect to integer variables and partial-invexity assumptions on the functions involved, we prove the weak, strong, converse and self-duality theorems to related minimax efficient solution. These results include some of available results.     

Higher-order nondifferentiable symmetric duality with generalized F-convexity

Generalized (<Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">ρ</Emphasis>)-Convexity and Duality in Nonsmooth Problems of Multiobjective Optimization

A mixed-type dual for a nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problem with inequality and equality constraints is formulated. We obtain weak and strong duality theorems for a mixed-type dual without requiring the regularity assumptions and the nonnegativeness of the Lagrange multipliers associated to the equality constraints. We apply also a nonsmooth constraint qualification for multiobjective programming to establish strong duality results. In this case, our constraint qualification assures the existence of positive Lagrange multipliers associated with the vector-valued objective function.

On duality theory in multiobjective programming

In this paper, we study different vector-valued Lagrangian functions and we develop a duality theory based upon these functions for nonlinear multiobjective programming problems. The saddle-point theorem and the duality theorem are derived for these problems under appropriate convexity assumptions. We also give some relationships between multiobjective optimizations and scalarized problems. A duality theory obtained by using the concept of vector-valued conjugate functions is discussed.The author is grateful to the reviewer for many valuable comments and helpful suggestions.
