This paper concerns nonlinear semideenite programming problems for which no convexity assumptions can be made. We derive rst-and second-order op-timality conditions analogous to those for nonlinear programming. Using techniques analogous to those used in nonlinear programming, we extend existing theory to cover situations where strict complementarity does not hold and the constraint matrix is s...

majority of models in location literature are based on assumptions such as point demand, absence of competitors, as well as monopoly in location, products, and services. however in real-world applications, these assumptions are not well-matched with reality. in this study, a new mixed integer nonlinear programming model based on weighted goal programming approach is proposed to maximize the cap...

abstract. when a production facility is designed, there are various parameters affecting the number machines such as production capacity and reliability. it is often a tedious task to optimize different objectives simultaneously. the other issue is the uncertainty in many design parameters which makes it difficult to reach a desirable solution. in this paper, we present a new mathematical model...

Sequential optimality conditions provide adequate theoretical tools to justify stopping criteria for nonlinear programming solvers. Here, nonsmooth approximate gradient projection and complementary approximate Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions are presented. These sequential optimality conditions are satisfied by local minimizers of optimization problems independently of the fulfillment of constrai...

Stochastic Approach to Vehicle Routing Problem: Development and Theories Abstract In this article, a chance constrained (CCP) formulation of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is proposed. The reality is that once we convert some special form of probabilistic constraint into their equivalent deterministic form then a nonlinear constraint generates. Knowing that reliable computer software...
