Mixed Duality without Constraint Qualification for Nonsmooth Fractional Programming

Optimality and Duality for Nonsmooth Multiobjective Fractional Programming with Generalized Invexity

This article deals with a class of non-smooth semi-infinite programming (SIP) problems in which the index set of the inequality constraints is an arbitrary set not necessarily finite. We introduce several kinds of constraint qualifications for these non-smooth SIP problems and we study the relationships between them. Finally, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are investigated.

The optimality conditions of major constraints nonsmooth programming with multi-objectives are studied. The objective function of this class of multi-objective programming is the sum of a convex vector function and a differentiable vector function. The constraint condition is major cone constraint in Euclid space. By using of the structure representation of major cone constraint of the given problem, the Fritz John condition of Pareto weakly effective solution is obtained by Gordan theorem. Meanwhile, the Kuhn-Tucker condition for Pareto weakly effective solution under Slater constraint qualification is given. The results are very useful to design its numerical methods.

Nonsmooth multiobjective mathematical programming problems with equilibrium constraints (NMMPEC) are studied in this article in the Hadamard manifold setting. In the context of (NMMPEC), the generalized Guignard constraint qualification (GGCQ) is formulated within the framework of Hadamard manifolds. Moreover, Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT)-type necessary optimality conditions are derived for (NMMPEC). Thereafter, we explore constraint qualifications (CQ) tailored to (NMMPEC) in the Hadamard manifold setting. Interrelations between these constraint qualifications are subsequently derived. It is further demonstrated that the proposed constraint qualifications, when satisfied, ensure that GGCQ holds. It is noteworthy that constraint qualifications and optimality conditions for (NMMPEC) have not been investigated in the Hadamard manifold setting.

In this paper, a new generalised class of higher order (F, α, ρ, d)-V-type I function is introduced for a non-smooth multi-objective fractional programming problem involving support functions. The newly defined class extends several known classes in the literature has been justified through a non-trivial example. In the framework of new concept, we determine conditions under which a fractional function becomes higher order (F, α, ρ, d)-V-type I function and do some computational work to substantiate the analysis. Further, we establish Karush-Kuhn-Tucker type sufficient optimality conditions and derive various duality results for higher order Mond-Weir type and Schaible type dual programs.

In this paper, a class of nonsmooth multiobjective programming problems is considered. We introduce the new concept of invex of order type II for nondifferentiable locally Lipschitz functions using the tools of Clarke subdifferential. The new functions are used to derive the sufficient optimality condition for a class of nonsmooth multiobjective programming problems. Utilizing the sufficient optimality conditions, weak and strong duality theorems are established for Wolfe type duality model.

The purpose of this paper is to consider a class of nonsmooth minimax semi-infinite fractional programming problem. Based on the concept of \( H- \) tangent derivative, a new generalization of convexity, namely generalized uniform \( (B_{H} ,\rho ) - \) invexity, is defined for this problem. For such semi-infinite programming problems, several sufficient optimality conditions are established and proved by utilizing the above defined new classes of functions. The results extend and improve the corresponding results in the literature.

In the paper, a family of real Lipschitz functions, called r-invex, which represents a generalization of the notion of invexity is introduced. The principal analytic tool is the generalized gradient of Clarke for Lipschitz functions. Furthermore, under appropriate r-invexity assumptions, necessary optimality conditions of the Slater type and sufficient optimality conditions are obtained for a nonsmooth programming problem. Also some duality results are obtained for such problems.

In mathematical programming, duality theorems play a central role. Especially, in convex and quasiconvex programming, Lagrange duality and surrogate duality have been studied extensively. Additionally, constraint qualifications are essential ingredients of the powerful duality theory. The best-known constraint qualifications are the interior point conditions, also known as the Slater-type constraint qualifications. A typical example of mathematical programming is a minimization problem of a real-valued function on a vector space. This types of problems have been studied widely and have been generalized in several directions. Recently, the authors investigate set functions and Fenchel duality. However, duality theorems and its constraint qualifications for mathematical programming with set functions have not been studied yet. It is expected to study set functions and duality theorems. In this paper, we study duality theorems for convex and quasiconvex set functions. We show Lagrange duality theorem for convex set functions and surrogate duality theorem for quasiconvex set functions under the Slater condition. As an application, we investigate an uncertain problem with motion uncertainty.

In this paper, a new class of nonconvex nonsmooth multiobjective programming problems with both inequality and equality constraints is considered. Namely, the sufficient optimality conditions and Mond-Weir duality results are established for such nondifferentiable multicriteria optimization problems in which the involved functions are nondifferentiable (b,?,?,?)w-univex functions (not necessarly with respect to the same functions b and ? and ?). Then the aforesaid results developed here under (b,?,?, ?)w-uinvexity are applicable for a larger class of nonsmooth vector optimization problems than under other generalized convexity notions existing in the literature.

In the research of optimization problems, optimality conditions play an important role. By using some derivatives, various types of necessary and/or sufficient optimality conditions have been introduced by many researchers. Especially, in convex programming, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions in terms of the subdifferential have been studied extensively. Recently, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for quasiconvex programming have been investigated by the authors. However, there are not so many results concerned with Karush–Kuhn–Tucker type optimality conditions for non-differentiable quasiconvex programming. In this paper, we study a Karush–Kuhn–Tucker type optimality condition for quasiconvex programming in terms of Greenberg–Pierskalla subdifferential. We show some closedness properties for Greenberg–Pierskalla subdifferential. Under the Slater constraint qualification, we show a necessary and sufficient optimality condition for essentially quasiconvex programming in terms of Greenberg–Pierskalla subdifferential. Additionally, we introduce a necessary and sufficient constraint qualification of the optimality condition. As a corollary, we show a necessary and sufficient optimality condition for convex programming in terms of the subdifferential.

The paper presents a new approach to solving nonlinear programming (NLP) problems for which the strict complementarity condition (SCC), a constraint qualification (CQ), and a second-order sufficient condition (SOSC) for optimality are not necessarily satisfied at a solution. Our approach is based on the construction of p-regularity and on reformulating the inequality constraints as equalities. Namely, by introducing the slack variables, we get the equality constrained problem, for which the Lagrange optimality system is singular at the solution of the NLP problem in the case of the violation of the CQs, SCC and/or SOSC. To overcome the difficulty of singularity, we propose the p-factor method for solving the Lagrange system. The method has a superlinear rate of convergence under a mild assumption. We show that our assumption is always satisfied under a standard second-order sufficient condition (SOSC) for optimality. At the same time, we give examples of the problems where the SOSC does not hold, but our assumption is satisfied. Moreover, no estimation of the set of active constraints is required. The proposed approach can be applied to a variety of problems.

In this paper, we extend the scalar-valued $B$-semipreinvex functions and vector-valued preinvex functions to the cases of vector-valued $B$-semipreinvex functions in Banach spaces. We investigate some properties for the vector-valued $B$-semipreinvex functions and consider a new class of vector-valued nonsmooth programming problems in which functions are locally Lipschitz. In terms of the Ralph vector sub-gradient, we obtain the generalized Kuhn-Tucker type sufficient optimality conditions and saddle point condition. Also, a generalized Mond-Weir type dual is formulated and some duality theorems are established involving locally Lipschitz $B$-semipreinvex functions for the pair of primal and dual programming. The results presented in this paper generalize some main results of Kuang and Batista Dos Santoset, Osuna-Gomez, Rojas-Medar and Rufian-Lizana.

We establish the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions on a nondifferentiable minimax fractional programming problem. Subsequently, applying the optimality conditions, we constitute two dual models: Mond-Weir type and Wolfe type. On these duality types, we prove three duality theorems--weak duality theorem, strong duality theorem, and strict converse duality theorem.

In this paper, we shall establish necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a feasible solution to be efficient for a nonsmooth multiobjective fractional programming problem involving ?-pseudolinear functions. Furthermore, we shall show equivalence between efficiency and proper efficiency under certain boundedness condition. We have also obtained weak and strong duality results for corresponding Mond-Weir subgradient type dual problem. These results extend some earlier results on efficiency and duality to multiobjective fractional programming problems involving ?-pseudolinear and pseudolinear functions.
