Stability results for convergence of convex sets and functions in nonreflexive spaces.

Jaafar Lahrache (1996)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

Let Γ(X) be the convex proper lower semicontinuous functions on a normed linear space X. We show, subject to Rockafellar’s constraints qualifications, that the operations of sum, episum and restriction are continuous with respect to the slice topology that reduces to the topology of Mosco convergence for reflexive X. We show also when X is complete that the epigraphical difference is continuous. These results are applied to convergence of convex sets.

Stability of Supporting and Exposing Elements of Convex Sets in Banach Spaces

Azé, D., Lucchetti, R. (1996)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

* This work was supported by the CNR while the author was visiting the University of Milan. To a convex set in a Banach space we associate a convex function (the separating function), whose subdifferential provides useful information on the nature of the supporting and exposed points of the convex set. These points are shown to be also connected to the solutions of a minimization problem involving the separating function. We investigate some relevant properties of this function...

Characterizations of ɛ-duality gap statements for constrained optimization problems

Horaţiu-Vasile Boncea, Sorin-Mihai Grad (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we present different regularity conditions that equivalently characterize various ɛ-duality gap statements (with ɛ ≥ 0) for constrained optimization problems and their Lagrange and Fenchel-Lagrange duals in separated locally convex spaces, respectively. These regularity conditions are formulated by using epigraphs and ɛ-subdifferentials. When ɛ = 0 we rediscover recent results on stable strong and total duality and zero duality gap from the literature.

Strong-weak Stackelberg Problems in Finite Dimensional Spaces

Aboussoror, Abdelmalek, Loridan, Pierre (1995)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We are concerned with two-level optimization problems called strongweak Stackelberg problems, generalizing the class of Stackelberg problems in the strong and weak sense. In order to handle the fact that the considered two-level optimization problems may fail to have a solution under mild assumptions, we consider a regularization involving ε-approximate optimal solutions in the lower level problems. We prove the existence of optimal solutions for such regularized problems and present...
