New Variational Principles With Applications To Optimization Theory And Algorithms, Hung Minh Phan
Wayne State University Dissertations
In this dissertation we investigate some applications of variational analysis in optimization theory and algorithms. In the first part we develop new extremal principles in variational analysis that deal with finite and infinite systems of convex and nonconvex sets. The results obtained, under the name of tangential extremal principles and rated extremal principles, combine primal and dual approaches to the study of variational systems being in fact first extremal principles applied to infinite systems of sets. These developments are in the core geometric theory of variational analysis. Our study includes the basic theory and applications to problems of semi-infinite programming …
