Optimality Conditions and Duality in Nonsmooth Semiinfinite Programming

In this article, we utilize the semiinfinite versions of Guignard's constraint qualification and Motzkin's theorem of the alternative to establish a set of Karush–Kuhn–Tucker-type necessary optimality conditions for a nonsmooth and nonconvex semiinfinite programming problem. Furthermore, we discuss some sufficient optimality conditions and duality relations for our semiinfinite programming problem.

Optimality and Duality for a Class of Nondifferentiable Multiobjective Fractional Programming Problems

In this paper, we consider a class of nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programs in which each component of the objective function contains a term involving the support function of a compact convex set. We establish necessary and sufficient optimality conditions and duality results for weakly efficient solutions of nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programming problems.

Appropriate duality theorems for Mond-Weir and Wolfe type duals are discussed in order to relate the efficient solutions of primal and dual programs.

Duality Without a Constraint Qualification for Minimax Fractional Programming

Using a parametric approach, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for generalized fractional programming without the need of a constraint qualification. Subsequently, these optimality criteria are utilized as a basis for constructing a parametric dual model and two other parameter-free dual models. Several duality theorems are established.     

Complex Minimax Fractional Programming of Analytic Functions

We prove that a minmax fractional programming problem is equivalent to a minimax nonfractional parametric problem for a given parameter in complex space. Using a parametric approach, we establish the Kuhn-Tucker type necessary optimality conditions and prove the existence theorem of optimality for complex minimax fractional programming in the framework of generalized convexity. Subsequently, we apply the optimality conditions to formulate a one-parameter dual problem and prove weak duality, strong duality, and strict converse duality theorems involving generalized convex complex functions.

Convexity with respect to a differential equation

The concepts of convexity of a set, convexity of a function and monotonicity of an operator with respect to a second-order ordinary differential equation are introduced in this paper. Several well-known properties of usual convexity are derived in this context, in particular, a characterization of convexity of function and monotonicity of an operator. A sufficient optimality condition for a optimization problem is obtained as an application. A number of examples of convex sets, convex functions and monotone operators with respect to a differential equation are presented.

On Generalized Linearity of Quadratic Fractional Functions

Quadratic fractional functions are proved to be quasilinear if and only if they are pseudo-linear. For these classes of functions, some characterizations are provided by means of the inertia of the quadratic form and the behavior of the gradient of the function itself. The study is then developed showing that generalized linear quadratic fractional functions share a particular structure. Therefore it is possible to suggest a sort of canonical form for those functions. A wider class of functions given by the sum of a quadratic fractional function and a linear one is also studied. In this case generalized linearity is characterized by means of simple conditions. Finally, it is deepened on the role played by generalized linear quadratic fractional functions in optimization problems.     

On Optimality Conditions for Generalized Semi-Infinite Programming Problems

Generalized semi-infinite optimization problems (GSIP) are considered. We generalize the well-known optimality conditions for minimizers of order one in standard semi-infinite programming to the GSIP case. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for local minimizers of order one without the assumption of local reduction. The necessary conditions are derived along the same lines as the first-order necessary conditions for GSIP in a recent paper of Jongen, Rückmann, and Stein (Ref. 1) by assuming the so-called extended Mangasarian–Fromovitz constraint qualification. Using the ideas of a recent paper of Rückmann and Shapiro, we give short proofs of necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for minimizers of order one under the additional assumption of the Mangasarian–Fromovitz constraint qualification at all local minimizers of the so-called lower-level problem.     

Mixed-Type Duality on Nonsmooth Minimax Fractional Programming Involving Exponential (p,r)-Invexity

Considering a nonsmooth minimax fractional programming problem involving exponential (p, r)-invexity, we construct a mixed-type dual problem, which is performed by an incomplete Lagrangian dual model. This mixed-type dual model involves the Wolfe type dual and Mond-Weir type dual as the special cases under exponential (p, r)-invexity. We establish the mixed-type duality problem with conditions for exponential (p, r)-invexity and prove that the optimal values of the primary problem and the mixed-type duality problem have no duality gap under the framwork of exponential (p, r)-invexity.
