A generalized like-distance in convex programming

Entropy-like proximal algorithms based on a second-order homogeneous distance function for quasi-convex programming

We consider two classes of proximal-like algorithms for minimizing a proper lower semicontinuous quasi-convex function f(x) subject to nonnegative constraints x ≥ 0. The algorithms are based on an entropy-like second-order homogeneous distance function. Under the assumption that the global minimizer set is nonempty and bounded, we prove the full convergence of the sequence generated by the algo...

Generalized Convex Disjunctive Programming: Nonlinear Convex Hull Relaxation

The KKT optimality conditions for constrained programming problem with generalized convex fuzzy mappings

The aim of present paper is to study a constrained programming with generalized $alpha-$univex fuzzy mappings. In this paper we introduce the concepts of $alpha-$univex, $alpha-$preunivex, pseudo $alpha-$univex and $alpha-$unicave fuzzy mappings, and we discover that $alpha-$univex fuzzy mappings are more general than univex fuzzy mappings. Then, we discuss the relationships of generalized $alp...

A hierarchy of relaxations for nonlinear convex generalized disjunctive programming

We propose a framework to generate alternative mixed-integer nonlinear programming formulations for disjunctive convex programs that lead to stronger relaxations. We extend the concept of “basic steps” defined for disjunctive linear programs to the nonlinear case. A basic step is an operation that takes a disjunctive set to another with fewer number of conjuncts. We show that the strength of th...

Convex Generalized Semi-Infinite Programming Problems with Constraint Sets: Necessary Conditions

 We consider generalized semi-infinite programming problems in which the index set of the inequality constraints depends on the decision vector and all emerging functions are assumed to be convex. Considering a lower level constraint qualification, we derive a formula for estimating the subdifferential of the value function. Finally, we establish the Fritz-John necessary optimality con...
