A duality theorem of Wolfe for non-linear differentiable programming is now extended to minimization of a non-differentiable, convex, objective function defined on a general locally convex topological linear space with a non-differentiable operatorial constraint, which is regularly subdifferentiable. The gradients are replaced by subgradients. This extended duality theorem is then applied to a programming problem where the objective function is the sum of a positively homogeneous, lower semi continuous, convex function and a subdifferentiable, convex function. We obtain another duality theorem which generalizes a result of Schechter.

AbstractNecessary and sufficient optimality conditions of Kuhn-Tucker type for a convex programming problem with subdifferentiable operator constraints have been obtained. A duality theorem of Wolfe's type has been derived. Assuming that the objective function is strictly convex, a converse duality theorem is obtained. The results are then applied to a programming problem in which the objective function is the sum of a positively homogeneous, lower-semi-continuous, convex function and a continuous convex function.

We prove that sup(f-h)(E) = sup(h*-f*)(E*), where f is a proper lower semi-continuous convex functional on a real locally convex space E, h: E → = [-∞, +∞] is an arbitrary-functional and, f*, h* are their convex conjugates respectively. When h = δG, the indicator of a bounded subset G of E, this yields a formula for sup f(G).

Introduction. One of the most satisfying theorems in the theory of convex sets states that a closed connected subset of a topological linear space which is locally convex is convex. This was first established in En by Tietze and was later extended by other authors (see (3)) to a topological linear space. A generalization of Tietze's theorem which appears in (2) shows if S is a closed subset of a topological linear space such that the set Q of points of local non-convexity of S is of cardinality n < ∞ and S ~ Q is connected, then S is the union of n + 1 or fewer convex sets. (The case n = 0 is Tietze's theorem.)

AbstractWe consider a programming problem in which the objective function is the sum of a differentiable function and the p norm of Sx, where S is a matrix and p > 1. The constraints are inequality constraints defined by differentiable functions. With the aid of a recent transposition theorem of Schechter we get a duality theorem and also a converse duality theorem for this problem. This result generalizes a result of Mond in which the objective function contains the square root of a positive semi-definite quadratic function.

The notion of statistical convergence of a sequence (xk) in a locally convex Hausdorff topological linear space X was introduced recently by Maddox[5], where it was shown that the slow oscillation of (sk) was a Tauberian condition for the statistical convergence of (sk).

AbstractInvoking a recent characterization of Optimality for a convex programming problem with finite dimensional range without any constraint qualification given by Borwein and Wolkowicz, we establish duality theorems. These duality theorems subsume numerous earlier duality results with constraint qualifications. We apply our duality theorems in the case of the objective function being the sum of a positively homogeneous, lower-semi-continuous, convex function and a subdifferentiable convex function. We also study specific problems of the above type in this setting.

The tempered ultradistribution space of Roumieu type for the spaceHμ,νis defined, which is a subspace of the Hausdörff locally convex topological linear space. Further, results are obtained for the multipliers and operators on the tempered ultradistribution spaces for the distributional Hankel-type transformation spaces.

Let H, U be two real Hilbert spaces and let g be a proper lower semi-continuous convex function from L2 (0, T;H) into R+. For each t in [0, T], let φ(t,.) be a proper l.s.c. convex function from H into R with effective domain Dφ(t,.)) and let h be a l.s.c. convex function from a closed convex subset u of U into L2(0, T;H) withfor all u in U. The constants γ and C are positive.

Abstract By a tiling of a topological linear space X, we mean a covering of X by at least two closed convex sets, called tiles, whose nonempty interiors are pairwise disjoint. Study of tilings of infinite dimensional spaceswas initiated in the 1980's with pioneer papers by V. Klee. We prove some general properties of tilings of locally convex spaces, and then apply these results to study the existence of tilings of normed and Banach spaces by tiles possessing certain smoothness or rotundity properties. For a Banach space X, our main results are the following. (i) X admits no tiling by Fréchet smooth bounded tiles. (ii) If X is locally uniformly rotund (LUR), it does not admit any tiling by balls. (iii) On the other hand, some spaces, г uncountable, do admit a tiling by pairwise disjoint LUR bounded tiles.
