Robust Stability And Optimality Conditions For Parametric Infinite And Semi-Infinite Programs, M J. Cánovas, M A. Lopez, Boris S. Mordukhovich, J Parra Dec 2008

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 …


Necessary Conditions For Nonsmooth Optimization Problems With Operator Constraints In Metric Spaces, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Libin Mou Jul 2008

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 …


Optimal Control Of Delay-Differential Inclusions With Multivalued Initial Conditions In Infinite Dimensions, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Dong Wang, Lianwen Wang Jan 2008

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 …
