In generalized semi-infinite programming the feasible set is known to be not closed in general. In this paper, under natural and generic assumptions, the closure of the feasible set is described in explicit terms.

The aim of this paper is to give a survey of some basic theory of semi-infinite programming. In particular, we discuss various approaches to derivations of duality, discretization, and first and second order optimality conditions. Some of the surveyed results are well known while others seem to be less noticed in that area of research.

In this paper we study differentiability and semismoothness properties of functions defined as integrals of parameterized functions. We also discuss applications of the developed theory to the problems of shape-preserving interpolation, option pricing and semi-infinite programming.

Generalized semi-infinite optimization problems (GSIP) are considered. The difference between GSIP and standard semi-infinite problems (SIP) is illustrated by examples. By applying the ’Reduction Ansatz’, optimality conditions for GSIP are derived. Numerical methods for solving GSIP are considered in comparison with methods for SIP. From a theoretical and a practical point of view it is investi...

We consider a generalized semi-infinite programming problem (GSIP) with one semi-infinite constraint where the index set depends on the variable to be minimized. Keeping in mind the integral global optimization method of Zheng & Chew and its modifications we would like to outline theoretical considerations for determining coarse approximations of a solution of (GSIP) via global optimization of ...

In this paper, a trust region method for generalized semi-infinite programming problems is presented. The method is based on [O. Yi-gui, “A filter trust region method for solving semi-infinite programming problems”, J. Appl. Math. Comput. 29, 311 (2009)]. We transformed the method from standard to generalized semi-infinite programming problems. The semismooth reformulation of the Karush–Kuhn–Tu...
