First Order Characterizations of Pseudoconvex Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
First order characterizations of pseudoconvex functions are investigated in terms of generalized directional derivatives. A connection with the invexity is analysed. Well-known first order characterizations of the solution sets of pseudolinear programs are generalized to the case of pseudoconvex programs. The concepts of pseudoconvexity and invexity do not depend on a single definition of the generalized directional derivative.

Second-order Characterizations of Convex and Pseudoconvex Functions
The present paper gives characterizations of radially u.s.c. convex and pseudoconvex functions f : X → R defined on a convex subset X of a real linear space E in terms of first and second-order upper Dini-directional derivatives. Observing that the property f radially u.s.c. does not require a topological structure of E, we draw the possibility to state our results for arbitrary real linear spa...
متن کاملOn Strict Pseudoconvexity
The present paper provides first and second-order characterizations of a radially lower semicontinuous strictly pseudoconvex function f : X → R defined on a convex setX in the real Euclidean space Rn in terms of the lower Dini-directional derivative. In particular we obtain connections between the strictly pseudoconvex functions, nonlinear programming problem, Stampacchia variational inequality...

In this paper, the concept of pseudoconvexity and quasiconvexity for continuous~-time functions are studied and an equivalence condition for pseudoconvexity is obtained. Moreover, under pseudoconvexity assumptions, some relationships between Minty and Stampacchia vector variational inequalities and continuous-time programming problems are presented. Finally, some characterizations of the soluti...
