A second order -approximation method for constrained optimization problems involving second order invex functions
A new approach for obtaining the second order sufficient conditions for nonlinear mathematical programming problems which makes use of second order derivative is presented. In the so-called second order -approximation method, an optimization problem associated with the original nonlinear programming problem is constructed that involves a second order -approximation of both the objective function and the constraint function constituting the original problem. The equivalence between the nonlinear...
