Optimality and duality for V-invex non-smooth multiobjective programming problems

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.

Optimality and Duality for Nonsmooth Multiobjective Fractional Programming with Generalized Invexity

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.

This paper considers the following nonsmooth multiobjective programming problem: (P) weak min f(x)=(f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> (x), hellip, f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p</sub> (x)), s.t. -g(x)isinS, h(x)=0, where xisinR <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</sup> , f(x)isinR <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p</sup> , g(x)isinR <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">m</sup> , h(x)isinR <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">r</sup> , SsubR <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">m</sup> is a closed convex cone with interior, and f, g, h satisfy the local Lipschitz condition. The necessary Lagrangian condition is established for a weak minimum of (P), and the proof is different from the proofs given by B.D.Craven, Ying Meiqian and other authors. Necessary conditions of Kuhn-Tucker type are obtained and sufficient conditions are discussed.

In this paper, nonsmooth univex, nonsmooth quasiunivex, and nonsmooth pseudounivex functions are introduced. By utilizing these new concepts, sufficient optimality conditions for a weakly efficient solution of the nonsmooth multiobjective programming problem are established. Weak and strong duality theorems are also derived for Mond-Weir type multiobjective dual programs.

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.

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.

The main aim of this paper is to study strong Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions for nonsmooth multiobjective semi-infinite programming (MSIP) problems. By using tangential subdifferential and suitable regularity conditions, we establish some strong necessary optimality conditions for some types of efficient solutions of nonsmooth MSIP problems. In addition to the theoretical results, some examples are provided to illustrate the advantages of our outcomes.

In this paper, we have considered a class of constrained nonsmooth multi objective programming problem involving semi-directionally differentiable functions from a view point of generalized convexity. A new generalized class of (dI—ρ—σ)-V-type I univex functions is introduced under which various weak, strong, converse and strict converse duality theorems are established for Mond-Weir type dual program in order to relate the efficient and weak efficient solutions of primal and dual problem. Also, we have illustrated through various non-trivial examples that this class extends many earlier studied classes in literature.

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.

The paper is devoted to an analysis of a new constraint qualification and a derivation of the strongest existing optimality conditions for nonsmooth mathematical programming problems with equality and inequality constraints in terms of Demyanov-Rubinov-Polyakova quasidifferentials under the minimal possible assumptions. To this end, we obtain a novel description of convex subcones of the contingent cone to a set defined by quasidifferentiable equality and inequality constraints with the use of a new constraint qualification. We utilize these description and constraint qualification to derive the strongest existing optimality conditions for nonsmooth mathematical programming problems in terms of quasidifferentials under less restrictive assumptions than in previous studies. The main feature of the new constraint qualification and related optimality conditions is the fact that they depend on individual elements of quasidifferentials of the objective function and constraints and are not invariant with respect to the choise of quasidifferentials. To illustrate the theoretical results, we present two simple examples in which optimality conditions in terms of various subdifferentials (in fact, any outer semicontinuous/limiting subdifferential) are satisfied at a nonoptimal point, while the optimality conditions obtained in this paper do not hold true at this point, that is, optimality conditions in terms of quasidifferentials, unlike the ones in terms of subdifferentials, detect the nonoptimality of this point.

As duality is an important and interesting feature of optimization problems, in this paper, we continue the effort of Long and Huang [X. J. Long, N. J. Huang, Optimality conditions for efficiency on nonsmooth multiobjective programming problems, Taiwanese J. Math., 18 (2014) 687-699] to discuss duality results of two types of dual models for a nonsmooth multiobjective programming problem using convexificators.

Higher-order KKT optimality conditions through contingent derivatives for constrained nonsmooth vector equilibrium problems

A new class of (not necessarily differentiable) multiobjective fractional programming problems with E-differentiable functions is considered. The so-called parametric E-Karush–Kuhn–Tucker necessary optimality conditions and, under E-convexity hypotheses, sufficient E-optimality conditions are established for such nonsmooth vector optimization problems. Further, various duality models are formulated for the considered E-differentiable multiobjective fractional programming problems and several E-duality results are derived also under appropriate E-convexity hypotheses.

We consider a multi-objective semi-infinite programming problem with a feasible set defined by inequality constraints. First, we present a Fritz–John type necessary optimality condition. Then, we introduce two constraint qualifications and derive the weak and strong Karush–Kuhn–Tucker types necessary conditions for (weakly) efficient solution of the considered problem. Finally, an extension of a Caristi–Ferrara–Stefanescu result for the (\(\Phi\), \(\rho\))-invexity is proved, and some sufficient conditions are presented under this weak assumption. All results are given in term of Clarke subdifferential.
