Robust Stability And Optimality Conditions For Parametric Infinite And Semi-Infinite Programs, M J. Cánovas, M A. Lopez, Boris S. Mordukhovich, J Parra
Robust Stability And Optimality Conditions For Parametric Infinite And Semi-Infinite Programs, M J. Cánovas, M A. Lopez, Boris S. Mordukhovich, J Parra
Mathematics Research Reports
This paper primarily concerns the study of parametric problems of infinite and semi-infinite programming, where functional constraints are given by systems of infinitely many linear inequalities indexed by an arbitrary set T, where decision variables run over Banach (infinite programming) or finite-dimensional (semi-infinite case) spaces, and where objectives are generally described by nonsmooth and nonconvex cost functions. The parameter space of admissible perturbations in such problems is formed by all bounded functions on T equipped with the standard supremum norm. Unless the index set T is finite, this space is intrinsically infinite-dimensional (nonreflexive and nonseparable) of the l(infinity)-type. By using …
Metric Regularity Of Mappings And Generalized Normals To Set Images, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Nguyen Mau Nam, Bingwu Wang
Metric Regularity Of Mappings And Generalized Normals To Set Images, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Nguyen Mau Nam, Bingwu Wang
Mathematics Research Reports
The primary goal of this paper is to study some notions of normals to nonconvex sets in finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces and their images under single-valued and set-valued mappings. The main motivation for our study comes from variational analysis and optimization, where the problems under consideration play a crucial role in many important aspects of generalized differential calculus and applications. Our major results provide precise equality formulas (sometimes just efficient upper estimates) allowing us to compute generalized normals in various senses to direct and inverse images of nonconvex sets under single-valued and set-valued mappings between Banach spaces. The main tools …

Limiting Subgradients Of Minimal Time Functions In Banach Spaces, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Nguyen Mau Nam
Limiting Subgradients Of Minimal Time Functions In Banach Spaces, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Nguyen Mau Nam
Mathematics Research Reports
The paper mostly concerns the study of generalized differential properties of the so-called minimal time functions associated, in particular, with constant dynamics and arbitrary closed target sets in control theory. Functions of this type play a significant role in many aspects of optimization, control theory: and Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equations. We pay the main attention to computing and estimating limiting subgradients of the minimal value functions and to deriving the corresponding relations for Frechet type epsilon-subgradients in arbitrary Banach spaces.
Necessary Conditions For Nonsmooth Optimization Problems With Operator Constraints In Metric Spaces, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Libin Mou
Necessary Conditions For Nonsmooth Optimization Problems With Operator Constraints In Metric Spaces, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Libin Mou
Mathematics Research Reports
This paper concerns nonsmooth optimization problems involving operator constraints given by mappings on complete metric spaces with values in nonconvcx subsets of Banach spaces. We derive general first-order necessary optimality conditions for such problems expressed via certain constructions of generalized derivatives for mappings on metric spaces and axiomatically defined subdifferentials for the distance function to nonconvex sets in Banach spaces. Our proofs arc based on variational principles and perturbation/approximation techniques of modern variational analysis. The general necessary conditions obtained are specified in the case of optimization problems with operator constraints dDScribcd by mappings taking values in approximately convex subsets of …
Failure Of Metric Regularity For Major Classes Of Variational Systems, Boris S. Mordukhovich
Failure Of Metric Regularity For Major Classes Of Variational Systems, Boris S. Mordukhovich
Mathematics Research Reports
The paper is devoted to the study of metric regularity, which is a remarkable property of set-valued mappings playing an important role in many aspects of nonlinear analysis and its applications. We pay the main attention to metric regularity of the so- called parametric variational systems that contain, in particular, various classes of parameterized/perturbed variational and hemivariational inequalities, complementarity systems, sets of optimal solutions and corresponding Lagrange multipliers in problems of parametric optimization and equilibria, etc. Based on the advanced machinery of generalized differentiation1 we surprisingly reveal that metric regularity fails for certain major classes of parametric variational systems, which …
Optimal Control Of Delay-Differential Inclusions With Multivalued Initial Conditions In Infinite Dimensions, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Dong Wang, Lianwen Wang
Optimal Control Of Delay-Differential Inclusions With Multivalued Initial Conditions In Infinite Dimensions, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Dong Wang, Lianwen Wang
Mathematics Research Reports
This paper is devoted to the study of a general class of optimal control problems described by delay-differential inclusions with infinite-dimensional state spaces, endpoints constraints, and multivalued initial conditions. To the best of our knowledge, problems of this type have not been considered in the literature, except some particular cases when either the state space is finite-dimensional or there is no delay in the dynamics. We develop the method of discrete approximations to derive necessary optimality conditions in the extended Euler-Lagrange form by using advanced tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation in infinite dimensions. This method consists of the …
