Optimality Conditions for Vector Optimization Problems

In this paper, some necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for the weakly efficient solutions of vector optimization problems (VOP) with finite equality and inequality constraints are shown by using two kinds of constraints qualifications in terms of the MP subdifferential due to Ye. A partial calmness and a penalized problem for the (VOP) are introduced and then the equivalence between the weakly efficient solution of the (VOP) and the local minimum solution of its penalized problem is proved under the assumption of partial calmness.

First and Second-Order Optimality Conditions for Convex Composite Multiobjective Optimization

Multiobjective optimization is a useful mathematical model in order to investigate real-world problems with conflicting objectives, arising from economics, engineering, and human decision making. In this paper, a convex composite multiobjective optimization problem, subject to a closed convex constraint set, is studied. New first-order optimality conditions for a weakly efficient solution of the convex composite multiobjective optimization problem are established via scalarization. These conditions are then extended to derive second-order optimality conditions.     

Multiobjective Problems: Enhanced Necessary Conditions and New Constraint Qualifications through Convexificators

In this paper, we study necessary optimality conditions for local Pareto and weak Pareto solutions of multiobjective problems involving inequality and equality constraints in terms of convexificators. We develop the enhanced Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions and introduce the associated pseudonormality and quasinormality conditions. We also introduce several other new constraint qualifications which entirely depend on the feasible set. Then a connecting link between these constraint qualifications is presented. Moreover, we provide several examples that clarify the interrelations between the different results that we have established.

Optimality conditions for nonsmooth mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints,using convexificators

In this paper, we deal with constraint qualifications, stationary concepts and optimality conditions for a nonsmooth mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). The main tool in our study is the notion of convexificator. Using this notion, standard and MPEC Abadie and several other constraint qualifications are proposed and a comparison between them is presented. We also define nonsmooth stationary conditions based on the convexificators. In particular, we show that GS-stationary is the first-order optimality condition under generalized standard Abadie constraint qualification. Finally, sufficient conditions for global or local optimality are derived under some MPEC generalized convexity assumptions.

In the first part of this paper, the Demyanov difference of two sets is considered. An expression for the Demyanov difference of two sets, which are the convex hulls of a finite number of points, is presented. In the second part, first-order necessary optimality conditions of the Lagrange multiplier type, for quasidifferentiable optimization with equality and inequality constraints, are given by means of the Demyanov difference of subdifferential and negative superdifferential.     

Extrapolated Smoothing Descent Algorithm for Constrained Nonconvex and Nonsmooth Composite Problems*

In this paper, the authors propose a novel smoothing descent type algorithm with extrapolation for solving a class of constrained nonsmooth and nonconvex problems,where the nonconvex term is possibly nonsmooth. Their algorithm adopts the proximal gradient algorithm with extrapolation and a safe-guarding policy to minimize the smoothed objective function for better practical and theoretical performance. Moreover, the algorithm uses a easily checking rule to update the smoothing parameter to ensure that any accumulation point of the generated sequence is an (affine-scaled) Clarke stationary point of the original nonsmooth and nonconvex problem. Their experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Differential Conditions for Constrained Nonlinear Programming via Pareto Optimization

We deal with the differential conditions for local optimality. The conditions that we derive for inequality constrained problems do not require constraint qualifications and are the broadest conditions based on only first-order and second-order derivatives. A similar result is proved for equality constrained problems, although the necessary conditions require the regularity of the equality constraints.

Necessary Optimality Conditions for Bilevel Optimization Problems Using Convexificators

In this work, we use a notion of convexificator (Jeyakumar, V. and Luc, D.T. (1999), Journal of Optimization Theory and Applicatons, 101, 599–621.) to establish necessary optimality conditions for bilevel optimization problems. For this end, we introduce an appropriate regularity condition to help us discern the Lagrange–Kuhn–Tucker multipliers.     

Weak and Strong Optimality Conditions for Constrained Control Problems with Discontinuous Control

In recent years, sufficient optimality criteria and solution stability in optimal control have been investigated widely and used in the analysis of discrete numerical methods. These results were concerned mainly with weak local optima, whereas strong optimality has been considered often as a purely theoretical aspect. In this paper, we show via an example problem how weak the weak local optimality can be and derive new strong optimality conditions. The criteria are suitable for practical verification and can be applied to the case of discontinuous controls with changes in the set of active constraints.
