In this article, we study nonsmooth convex minimax programming problems with cone constraint and abstract constraint. Our aim is to develop sequential Lagrange multiplier rules for this class of problems in the absence of any constraint qualification. These rules are obtained in terms of ∊-subdifferentials of the functions. As an application of these rules, a sequential dual is proposed and sequential duality results are presented.

In this paper, we consider the constraint set K := {x ? Rn : gj(x)? 0,? j = 1,2,...,m} of inequalities with nonsmooth nonconvex constraint functions gj : Rn ? R (j = 1,2,...,m).We show that under Abadie?s constraint qualification the ?perturbation property? of the best approximation to any x in Rn from a convex set ?K := C ? K is characterized by the strong conical hull intersection property (strong CHIP) of C and K, where C is an arbitrary non-empty closed convex subset of Rn: By using the idea of tangential subdifferential and a non-smooth version of Abadie?s constraint qualification, we do this by first proving a dual cone characterization of the constraint set K. Moreover, we present sufficient conditions for which the strong CHIP property holds. In particular, when the set ?K is closed and convex, we show that the Lagrange multiplier characterizations of constrained best approximation holds under a non-smooth version of Abadie?s constraint qualification. The obtained results extend many corresponding results in the context of constrained best approximation. Several examples are provided to clarify the results.

In this paper a non-convex vector optimization problem among infinite-dimensional spaces is presented. In particular, a generalized Lagrange multiplier rule is formulated as a necessary and sufficient optimality condition for weakly minimal solutions of a constrained vector optimization problem, without requiring that the ordering cone that defines the inequality constraints has non-empty interior. This paper extends the result of Donato (J. Funct. Analysis261 (2011), 2083–2093) to the general setting of vector optimization by introducing a constraint qualification assumption that involves the Fréchet differentiability of the maps and the tangent cone to the image set. Moreover, the constraint qualification is a necessary and sufficient condition for the Lagrange multiplier rule to hold.

AbstractThe presence of Lipschitzian properties for solution mappings associated with nonlinear parametric optimization problems is desirable in the context of, e.g., stability analysis or bilevel optimization. An example of such a Lipschitzian property for set-valued mappings, whose graph is the solution set of a system of nonlinear inequalities and equations, is R-regularity. Based on the so-called relaxed constant positive linear dependence constraint qualification, we provide a criterion ensuring the presence of the R-regularity property. In this regard, our analysis generalizes earlier results of that type which exploited the stronger Mangasarian–Fromovitz or constant rank constraint qualification. Afterwards, we apply our findings in order to derive new sufficient conditions which guarantee the presence of R-regularity for solution mappings in parametric optimization. Finally, our results are used to derive an existence criterion for solutions in pessimistic bilevel optimization and a sufficient condition for the presence of the so-called partial calmness property in optimistic bilevel optimization.
