Optimality conditions for nonsmooth multiobjective programming

Optimality and Duality for Nonsmooth Multiobjective Fractional Programming with Generalized Invexity

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.

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.

We consider non-smooth multiobjective programming problems with inequality and equality constraints involving locally Lipschitz functions. Several optimality conditions under various (generalized) V-invexity assumptions and certain regularity conditions are presented. Further, we introduce a Mond–Weir type dual and establish duality relations under the aforesaid assumptions.

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.

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, 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.

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.

A class of nonsmooth multiobjective fractional programming is formulated. We establish the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions without the need of a constraint qualification. Then a mixed dual is introduced for a class of nonsmooth fractional programming problems, and various duality theorems are established without a constraint qualification.

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.

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.

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.

In this article, we consider the complementarity problem over a closed convex cone in a Hilbert space. We propose three classes of merit functions for solving such a problem, including natural residual merit functions, LT merit functions and implicit Lagrangian merit functions, and investigate their important properties related to the unconstrained reformation of the problem, including coerciveness properties of functions and the related error bound results. In addition, we also propose a necessary and sufficient condition of a stationary point of the unconstrained reformation being a solution to the original problem for implicit Lagrangian merit functions. These provide a theoretical basis for designing the merit function method for solving the problem concerned.

In this paper, we present a multi-objective fractional probabilistic programming problem where the parameters in the objective functions and right-hand side constraints are multi-choice in nature. Multi-choice multi-objective objective fractional probabilistic programming problem is formulated. The multi-choice parameters in the right-hand side of constraints are random variables following Cauchy distribution. Multi-choice multi-objective fractional probabilistic programming problem is transformed to deterministic equivalent multi-choice multi-objective fractional programming problem using chance-constrained programming problem. Lagrange interpolating polynomial approach is proposed to deal with multi-choice parameters. The multi-choice multi-objective fractional programming problem is transformed to non-linear mixed integer multi-objective programming problem. An \(\epsilon -\) constrained method is applied to find the compromise solutions of non-linear mixed integer multi-objective programming problem using different values of \(\epsilon \). LINGO software is applied to find the optimal solution of single objective non-linear mixed integer programming problem. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed programming problem.KeywordsMulti-choice programming problemMulti-objective programming problemProbabilistic programming problemFractional programming problem\(\epsilon \)-constraint method
