By considering the epigraphs of conjugate functions, we extend the Fenchel duality, applicable to a (possibly infinite) family of proper lower semicontinuous convex functions on a Banach space. Applications are given in providing fuzzy KKT conditions for semi-infinite programming.

The Fourier-Motzkin elimination method has been recently extended to linear inequality systems that have infinitely many inequalities. It has been used in the study of linear semi-infinite programming by Basu, Martin, and Ryan. Following the idea of the conjecture for semi-infinite programming in a paper by Kortanek and Zhang recently published in Optimization, which states “all the duality res...

Interior point methods, the traditional methods for the SDP , are fairly limited in the size of problems they can handle. This paper deals with an LP approach to overcome some of these shortcomings. We begin with a semi-infinite linear programming formulation of the SDP and discuss the issue of its discretization in some detail. We further show that a lemma due Pataki on the geometry of the SDP...
