Multiobjective Optimization Problems With Equilibrium Constraints, Boris S. Mordukhovich Oct 2006

Multiobjective Optimization Problems With Equilibrium Constraints, Boris S. Mordukhovich

Mathematics Research Reports

The paper is devoted to new applications of advanced tools of modern variational analysis and generalized differentiation to the study of broad classes of multiobjective optimization problems subject to equilibrium constraints in both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional settings. Performance criteria in multiobjectivejvector optimization are defined by general preference relationships satisfying natural requirements, while equilibrium constraints are described by parameterized generalized equations/variational conditions in the sense of Robinson. Such problems are intrinsically nonsmooth and are handled in this paper via appropriate normal/coderivativejsubdifferential constructions that exhibit full calculi. Most of the results obtained are new even in finite dimensions, while the case of …


Necessary Conditions In Multiobjective Optimization With Equilibrium Constraints, Truong Q. Bao, Panjak Gupta, Boris S. Mordukhovich Sep 2006

Necessary Conditions In Multiobjective Optimization With Equilibrium Constraints, Truong Q. Bao, Panjak Gupta, Boris S. Mordukhovich

Mathematics Research Reports

In this paper we study multiobjective optimization problems with equilibrium constraints (MOECs) described by generalized equations in the form 0 is an element of the set G(x,y) + Q(x,y), where both mappings G and Q are set-valued. Such models particularly arise from certain optimization-related problems governed by variational inequalities and first-order optimality conditions in nondifferentiable programming. We establish verifiable necessary conditions for the general problems under consideration and for their important specifications using modern tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation. The application of the obtained necessary optimality conditions is illustrated by a numerical example from bilevel programming with convex …


Variational Analysis In Nonsmooth Optimization And Discrete Optimal Control, Boris S. Mordukhovich May 2006

Variational Analysis In Nonsmooth Optimization And Discrete Optimal Control, Boris S. Mordukhovich

Mathematics Research Reports

The paper is devoted to applications of modern methods of variational· analysis to constrained optimization and control problems generally formulated in infinite-dimensional spaces. The main attention is paid to the study of problems with nonsmooth structures, which require the usage of advanced tools of generalized differentiation. In this way we derive new necessary optimality conditions in optimization problems with functional and. operator constraints and then apply them to optimal control problems governed by discrete-time inclusions in infinite dimensions. The principal difference between finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional frameworks of optimization and control consists of the "lack of compactness" in infinite dimensions, which …


Variational Analysis Of Evolution Inclusions, Boris S. Mordukhovich Apr 2006

Variational Analysis Of Evolution Inclusions, Boris S. Mordukhovich

Mathematics Research Reports

The paper is devoted to optimization problems of the Bolza and Mayer types for evolution systems governed by nonconvex Lipschitzian differential inclusions in Banach spaces under endpoint constraints described by finitely many equalities and inequalities. with generally nonsmooth functions. We develop a variational analysis of such roblems mainly based on their discrete approximations and the usage of advanced tools of generalized differentiation satisfying comprehensive calculus rules in the framework of Asplund (and hence any reflexive Banach) spaces. In this way we establish extended results on stability of discrete approximations (with the strong W^1,2-convergence of optimal solutions under consistent perturbations of …
