In this paper, optimality conditions for the group sparse constrained optimization (GSCO) problems are studied. Firstly, the equivalent characterizations of Bouligand tangent cone, Clarke tangent cone and their corresponding normal cones of the group sparse set are derived. Secondly, by using tangent cones and normal cones, four types of stationary points for GSCO problems are given: TB-stationary point, NB-stationary point, TC-stationary point and NC-stationary point, which are used to characterize first-order optimality conditions for GSCO problems. Furthermore, both the relationship among the four types of stationary points and the relationship between stationary points and local minimizers are discussed. Finally, second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for GSCO problems are provided.

This work is intended to lead a study of necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for scalar optimization problems on Hadamard manifolds. In the context of this geometry, we obtain and present new function types characterized by the property of having all their second-order stationary points to be global minimums. In order to do so, we extend the concept convexity in Euclidean space to a more general notion of invexity on Hadamard manifolds. This is done employing notions of second-order directional derivative, second-order pseudoinvexity functions and the second-order Karush-Kuhn-Tucker-pseudoinvexity problem. Thus, we prove that every second-order stationary point is a global minimum if and only if the problem is either second-order pseudoinvex or second-order KKT-pseudoinvex depending on whether the problem regards unconstrained or constrained scalar optimization respectively. This result has not been presented in the literature before. Finally, examples of these new characterizations are provided in the context of \textit{"Higgs Boson like"} potentials among others.

In this paper, we consider new sufficient conditions of optimality of the second-order for equality constrained optimization problems, which essentially enhance and complement the classical ones and are constructive. For example, they establish equivalence between sufficient conditions in the equality constrained optimization problems and sufficient conditions for optimality in equality constrained problems by reducing the latter to equalities with the help of introducing slack variables. Previously, when using the classical sufficient optimality conditions, this fact was not considered to be true, that is, the existing classical sufficient conditions were not complete, so the proposed optimality conditions complement the classical ones and close the question of the equivalence of the problems with inequalities and the problems with equalities when reducing the first to the second by introducing slack variables.

This paper deals with robust quasi approximate optimal solutions for a nonsmooth semi-infinite optimization problems with uncertainty data. By virtue of the epigraphs of the conjugates of the constraint functions, we first introduce a robust type closed convex constraint qualification. Then, by using the robust type closed convex constraint qualification and robust optimization technique, we obtain some necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for robust quasi approximate optimal solution and exact optimal solution of this nonsmooth uncertain semi-infinite optimization problem. Moreover, the obtained results in this paper are applied to a nonsmooth uncertain optimization problem with cone constraints.

The study of general multiplier theorems (Kuhn-Tucker Conditions) for constrained optimization problems has led to extensions of the notion of a differentiable arc. Abadie [1], Varaiya [10], Guignard [5], Zlobec [11] and Massam [12] investigated the so called cone of tangent vectors to a point in a set for optimization purposes.

A new class of nonconvex smooth semi-infinite multiobjective fractional programming problems with both inequality and equality constraints is considered. We formulate and establish several parametric sufficient optimality conditions for efficient solutions in such nonconvex vector optimization problems under (?,?)-V-invexity and/or generalized (?,?)-V-invexity hypotheses. With the reference to the said functions, we extend some results of efficiency for a larger class of nonconvex smooth semi-infinite multiobjective programming problems in comparison to those ones previously established in the literature under other generalized convexity notions. Namely, we prove the sufficient optimality conditions for such nonconvex semi-infinite multiobjective fractional programming problems in which not all functions constituting them have the fundamental property of convexity, invexity and most generalized convexity notions.
