Optimality and duality for nondifferentiable multiobjective variational problems

The concept of efficiency is used to formulate duality for nondifferentiable multiobjective variational problems. Wolfe and Mond-Weir type vector dual problems are formulated. By using the generalized Schwarz inequality and a characterization of efficient solution, we established the weak, strong, and converse duality theorems under generalized (F,ρ)-convexity assumptions.     

Generalized Univex Functions in Nonsmooth Multiobjective Optimization

In this paper, we have considered a nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problem where the objective and constraint functions involved are directionally differentiable. A new class of generalized functions (d???ρ???η???θ)-type I univex is introduced which generalizes many earlier classes cited in literature. Based upon these generalized functions, we have derived weak, strong, converse and strict converse duality theorems for mixed type multiobjective dual program in order to relate the efficient and weak efficient solutions of primal and dual problem.     

Optimality and duality for the multiobjective fractional programming with the generalized (F,ρ) convexity

A class of multiobjective fractional programmings (MFP) are first formulated, where the involved functions are local Lipschitz and Clarke subdifferentiable. In order to deduce our main results, we give the definitions of the generalized (F,ρ) convex class about the Clarke subgradient. Under the above generalized convexity assumption, the alternative theorem is obtained, and some sufficient and necessary conditions for optimality are also given related to the properly efficient solution for the problems. Finally, we formulate the two dual problems (MD) and (MD1) corresponding to (MFP), and discuss the week, strong and reverse duality.     

Second order mixed type duality in multiobjective programming problems

Second order mixed type dual is introduced for multiobjective programming problems. Results about weak duality, strong duality, and strict converse duality are established under generalized second order (F,ρ)-convexity assumptions. These results generalize the duality results recently given by Aghezzaf and Hachimi involving generalized first order (F,ρ)-convexity conditions.     

Higher-Order Duality for Multiobjective Programming Problems Involving (F, α, ρ, d)-V-Type I Functions

A class of functions called higher-order (F, α, ρ, d)-V-type I functions and their generalizations is introduced. Using the assumptions on the functions involved, weak, strong and strict converse duality theorems are established for higher-order Wolfe and Mond-Weir type multiobjective dual programs in order to relate the efficient solutions of primal and dual problems.     

Minimax Fractional Programming for <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Set Functions and Mixed-Type Duality under Generalized Invexity

We establish the sufficient optimality conditions for a minimax programming problem involving p fractional n-set functions under generalized invexity. Using incomplete Lagrange duality, we formulate a mixed-type dual problem which unifies the Wolfe type dual and Mond-Weir type dual in fractional n-set functions under generalized invexity. Furthermore, we establish three duality theorems: weak, strong, and strict converse duality theorem, and prove that the optimal values of the primal problem and the mixed-type dual problem have no duality gap under extra assumptions in the framework. This research was partly supported by the National Science Council, NSC 94-2115-M-033-003, Taiwan.     

Saddle point and generalized convex duality for multiobjective programming

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.     

Duality theorems for a new class of multitime multiobjective variational problems

In this work, we consider a new class of multitime multiobjective variational problems of minimizing a vector of functionals of curvilinear integral type. Based on the normal efficiency conditions for multitime multiobjective variational problems, we study duals of Mond-Weir type, generalized Mond-Weir-Zalmai type and under some assumptions of (??, b)-quasiinvexity, duality theorems are stated. We give weak duality theorems, proving that the value of the objective function of the primal cannot exceed the value of the dual. Moreover, we study the connection between values of the objective functions of the primal and dual programs, in direct and converse duality theorems. While the results in §1 and §2 are introductory in nature, to the best of our knowledge, the results in §3 are new and they have not been reported in literature.     

Optimality for (<Emphasis Type="Italic">h,φ</Emphasis>)-multiobjective programming involving generalized type-I functions

Based upon Ben-Tal’s generalized algebraic operations, new classes of functions, namely (h,φ)-type-I, quasi (h,φ)-type-I, and pseudo (h,φ)-type-I, are defined for a multi-objective programming problem. Sufficient optimality conditions are obtained for a feasible solution to be a Pareto efficient solution for this problem. Some duality results are established by utilizing the above defined classes of functions, considering the concept of a Pareto efficient solution. This research is supported by National Science Foundation of China under Grant No. 69972036.     

On the duality of aggregation operators and k-negations

In this paper we study a class of duality functions given by the solution of a system of functional equations related to the De Rham system. With the aid of a generalized dyadic representation system in the unit interval, we study a negation N which is a duality function for pairs of operators satisfying certain boundary conditions. New properties of N are investigated, including its singularity and fractal dimensions for several related sets. As an application we obtain an explicit expression for k-negations.     

Some nondifferentiable multiobjective programming under generalized d-V-type-I univexity

In this paper, we introduce new classes of functions called d-V-type-I univex by extending the definition of d-V-type-I functions and consider a multiobjective optimization problem involving generalized d-V-type-I univex functions. A number of Karush–Kuhn–Tucker-type sufficient optimality conditions are obtained for a feasible solution to be a weak Pareto efficient solution. The Mond–Weir-type duality results are also presented. The results obtained in this paper generalize and extend the previously known result in this area.     

Multiobjective programming problems with (G,C,ρ)-convexity

In this paper, we deal with multiobjective programming problems involving functions which are not necessarily differential. A new concept of generalized convexity, which is called (G,C,??)-convexity, is introduced. We establish not only sufficient but also necessary optimality conditions for multiobjective programming problems from a viewpoint of the new generalized convexity. When the sufficient conditions are utilized, the corresponding duality theorems are derived for general Mond-Weir type dual program.

On nondifferentiable minimax fractional programming under generalized α-type I invexity

In this paper, we study a nondifferentiable minimax fractional programming problem under the assumptions of generalized α-type I invex function. In this paper we introduce the concepts of α-type I invex, pseudo α-type I invex, strict pseudo α-type I invex and quasi α-type I invex functions in the setting of Clarke subdifferential functions. We derive Karush-Kuhn-Tucker type sufficient optimality conditions and establish weak, strong and converse duality theorems for the problem and its three different dual problems. The results in this paper extend several known results in the literature.     

Duality for max-separable problems

In this paper we propose a general duality theory for a class of so called ‘max-separable’ optimization problems. In such problems functions h:R ^k → R of the form h(x ₁, . . . , x _k ) =? max _j ? h _j (x _j ), occur both as objective functions and as constraint functions (h _j are assumed to be strictly increasing functions of one variable). As a result we obtain pairs of max-separable optimization problems, which possess both weak and strong duality property without a duality gap.
