Some remarks on symmetric dual programs

In this paper, a pair of non-differentiable second-order multi-objective symmetrical dual fractional variational programs over arbitrary cones is constructed. We have introduced the concept of second-order (F, α, ρ, d)-pseudoconvexity and an example of a function which is second-order (F, α, ρ, d)-pseudoconvex but not second-order F-pseudoconvex has been constructed. Further, to relate the objective function value of primal and dual, we proved weak, strong, and converse duality theorems under second-order (F, α, ρ, d)-pseudoconvexity suppositions. Moreover, to validate the results of the weak duality theorem, an example of a multi-objective variational fractional problem and its dual model has been constructed. Several known results are also discussed as special cases.

Two different pairs of higher-order symmetric dual programs such as Wolfe type and Mond–Weir type are studied. The weak, strong and converse duality theorems are established for the higher-order symmetric dual programs under higher-order \(\rho -(\eta ,\theta )-\)invexity and \(\rho -(\eta ,\theta )-\)pseudo-invexity assumptions. Many examples and counterexamples are illustrated to justify our work. We also observe that several known results are obtained as special cases.

A new notion of higher-order weakly generalized adjacent epiderivative for a set-valued map is introduced. By virtue of the epiderivative and weak minimality, a higher-order Mond-Weir type dual problem and a higher-order Wolfe type dual problem are introduced for a constrained set-valued optimization problem, respectively. Then, corresponding weak duality, strong duality, and converse duality theorems are established.

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, we have considered a nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problem where the objective and constraint functions involved are directionally differentiable. A new class of generalized functions (d − ρ − η − θ)-type I univex is introduced which generalizes many earlier classes cited in literature. Based upon these generalized functions, we have derived weak, strong, converse and strict converse duality theorems for mixed type multiobjective dual program in order to relate the efficient and weak efficient solutions of primal and dual problem.

This paper extends the results of “Duality in Discrete Programming” [1] to the case of quadratic objective functions. The paper is, however, self-contained. A pair of symmetric dual quadratic programs is generalized by constraining some of the variables to belong to arbitrary sets of real numbers. Quadratic all-integer and mixed-integer programs are special cases of these problems. The resulting primal problem is shown, subject to a qualification, to have an optimal solution if and only if the dual has one, and in this case the values of their respective objective functions are equal. The dual of a mixed-integer quadratic program can be formulated as a minimax problem whose quadratic objective function is linear in the integer-constrained variables, and whose linear constraint set does not contain the latter. Based on this approach an algorithm is developed for solving integer and mixed-integer quadratic programs.

Duality for nondifferentiable minimax programming in complex spaces

This paper deals with non-differentiable multi-objective semi-infinite programming problem. It is a problem of simultaneous minimisation of finitely many scalar valued functions subject to an arbitrary (possibly infinite) set of constraints. Non-differentiability enters, due to the square root of a quadratic form which appears in the objective functional. Concept of efficiency of order m has been extended to the above stated problem. In order to study this new solution concept, the notion of ρ-invexity of order m is also proposed which is utilised to establish sufficient optimality conditions for the non-differentiable multi-objective semi-infinite programming problem. Mond-Weir type of dual is proposed for which weak, strong and strict converse duality theorems are established.

In this work, we introduce a pair of multiobjective second-order symmetric dual variational problems. Weak, strong, and converse duality theorems for this pair are established under the assumption of ?-bonvexity/?-pseudobonvexity. At the end, the static case of our problems has also been discussed.
