1 Introduction

17

In semi-infinite programming (SIP), one has to minimize functions of

finite-18

dimensional variables, which are subject to infinitely many constraints. SIP problems

19

often arise in mathematics as well as in diverse engineering and economical

applica-20

tions of the latter (see [1–5], and the references therein). A large class of distributionally

21

robust optimization problems can be described and solved with the help of convex

22

SIP [6]. A number of SIP control-related challenges, to be met with in practical

23

applications, can be found in [7–9], among others. In recent years, machine learning

24

methods are gaining popularity because of their reliability and efficiency in dealing

25

with “real-life” problems. In [10], an innovative method is proposed for generating

26

infinitely many kernel combinations with the help of infinite and semi-infinite

opti-27

mization.

28

In the study of optimization problems, in general, and the SIP ones, in particular,

29

many important issues are associated with an eventual valid choice of efficient

opti-30

mality conditions. The relevant literature on SIP and generalized SIP features a number

31

of approaches to optimality conditions (cf. [1,2,11–17]). Very often optimality

con-32

ditions are based on the topological study of inequality systems (e.g., [18–20] et al.)

33

and use different constraint qualifications (CQ) [12–14,18]. Various CQs and assorted

34

questions on regularity and stability of the feasible sets in semi-infinite optimization

35

are studied in [21–24] and the references therein.

36

The methodology, which will be described below, is often followed in order to

37

verify the optimality of a given feasible solution. Using the information about a given

38

problem and its feasible solutionx0, we formulate an auxiliary nonlinear programming

39

(NLP) problem with a finite number of constraints. This problem is constructed in such

40

a way that, under special additional conditions, the optimality property of x0in the

41

original SIP problem should be connected with the optimality ofx0in the auxiliary

42

NLP problem. This allows for the use of a rich arsenal of tools, provided by the theory

43

of NLP, and permits to derive explicit necessary and sufficient optimality conditions

44

for SIP. This methodology affords two main approaches to optimality. The first one,

45

thediscretization approach, as its name suggests, uses a simple idea of approximation

46

of the infinite index set by a finite grid to formulate a rather simple auxiliary NLP

47

problem, a discretized one(NLPD). The main drawback of this approach is that, for

48

the optimality conditions of the original SIP problem to be formulated in terms of

49

the optimality conditions for the auxiliary problem(NLPD), rather strong additional 50

conditions (CQs) should prevail, which is not often the case. The second approach,

51

under the termreduction, takes into account the specific properties and the structure

52

of the original SIP problem more accurately. This is made possible by the use of more

53

sophisticated auxiliary (finite) problems, which are denoted here as reduced problems

54

(NLPR). The reduction approach has the advantage of permitting the formulation of 55

the optimality conditions for SIP in terms of optimality conditions for the reduced

56

problems under weaker CQs. For the discretization and reduction approaches, as well

57

as another less frequently used ones, see [1,2], and others.

58

(6)

uncorrected

proof

It occurs that even more efficient auxiliary problems can be formulated for some

59

classes of SIP problems. Thus, in the authors’ papers [17,25,26], among others, the

60

notion ofimmobile(orcarrieras in [19]) indices is employed to construct auxiliary

61

NLP problems of a new type for certain number of classes of convex SIP problems

62

with polyhedral index sets. These auxiliary problems represent more accurate

approx-63

imations of the original SIP problems, thus allowing for the proof of new (explicit and

64

implicit) optimality conditions under weaker additional conditions. This certainly will

65

expand the scope of applications of the theory and methods of convex SIP.

66

The paper can be seen as a significant step forward in the study launched in our

67

previous works, its natural, but not trivial expansion to one of the most general classes

68

of convex SIP problems, the class of problems with compact index sets defined by

69

finite numbers of functional inequalities. Our studies has been started in [27], where

70

we introduced an auxiliary finite problem [let us qualify it here by(NLP)], performed

71

an in-depth study of its properties, and validated a number of technical statements,

72

which are necessary for further development of the new approach. The main aim of

73

this paper is to apply the results from [27] to the study of the optimality in the convex

74

SIP problems with finitely representable index sets. We will formulate and prove new

75

optimality conditions in the form of implicit optimality criteria, explicit necessary and

76

sufficient optimality conditions. These conditions do not necessitate any CQ and can

77

be met under rather weak assumptions. We will compare the optimality conditions,

78

thus obtained, with those known from the literature and prove the accrued efficiency

79

of the former over the latter from the following point of view: (a) the new optimality

80

conditions do not use any constraint qualification (areCQ-free); (b) a more restrained

81

subset of the feasible solutions satisfies the necessary optimality conditions, obtained

82

in the paper; and (c) the new sufficient conditions describe a wider subset of optimal

83

solutions.

84

It should be emphasized here that a simple translation of the optimality results

85

from [17,25] to the more general class of convex SIP problems, considered in this

86

paper, is impossible since the more complex geometry of index sets requires a

non-87

trivial review of concepts and methods lying in the basis of our approach. It is worth

88

mentioning that the class of compact sets, which are finitely representable in the form

89

of systems of functional inequalities, is much wider than that of the convex polyhedra.

90

Therefore, it is very important from both, the theoretical and practical points of view,

91

to develop new tools, which allow to obtain efficient optimality conditions for the

92

convex SIP problems considered in the paper.

93

The paper is organized as follows. Section1 hosts the introduction. In Sect. 2,

94

we state the convex SIP problem with finitely representable index set, formulate the

95

auxiliary problem(NLP), and recall some of the results obtained in [27]. In Sect.3,

96

we introduce a parametric problem(P(ε))and study its properties, which are used in

97

Sect.4to prove implicit optimality criteria and explicit optimality conditions for the

98

original SIP problem. Several special cases are considered in Sect.5: a case of SIP

99

problems satisfying the Slater CQ; another one, where the lower level problem satisfies

100

certain additional conditions; yet another case, where the index set is a polyhedron and,

101

finally, the case of linear constraints. For each of these cases, we explicitly formulate

102

optimality conditions. An example in Sect.6illustrates the applicability of the

theo-103

retical results obtained in the paper, the efficiency of the theorems proved here, and the

104

(7)

uncorrected

proof

usefulness of information about the immobile indices for numerical implementations.

105

We use this example also to compare the optimality conditions obtained in the paper

106

with other results known from the literature. In Sect.7, we discuss perspectives for

107

future research and some open problems. The final Sect.8contains the conclusions

108

and final remarks.

2 Convex SIP Problem with Finitely Representable Index Set

110

In this section, we formulate the problem, give the basic notations, and present some

111

results from [27], which will be used in what follows.

112

Consider the following SIP problem:

113

(SIP): min

x∈Rnc(x), s.t. f(x,t)≤0 ∀tT, (1)

114

whereT Rpis a compact index set defined by a finite system of inequalities:

115

T :=

t Rp:gs(t)≤0, sS, |S|<∞. (2) 116

Suppose that the cost functionc(x)and the constraint function f(x,t), for alltT,

117

are convex w.r.t. x ∈ Rn. Hence, the problem (SIP) is convex. Suppose also that

118

functionsc(x), f(x,t)andgs(t)are sufficiently smooth w.r.t. x ∈ Rn andt ∈ Rp,

119

which means here that the (partial) derivatives of these functions of all orders, that will

120

be needed in sequel, exist and are continuous for all respective variables. The main

121

aim of this study is to apply our approach developed in the previous papers, to the

122

convex SIP problem (1) with the index set in the form (2), and obtain new optimality

123

conditions for this problem.

124

Let us, first, reformulate some definitions introduced in [27].

125

Denote by X the set of feasible solutions (the feasible set) in the problem (SIP),

126

X := {x Rn: f(x,t) 0 ∀t T}.Suppose that the problem is consistent, i.e.,

127

X = ∅.

128

Definition 2.1 Problem (SIP) is said to satisfy the Slater condition (the Slater CQ) iff

129

the interior of its feasible set is not empty:

130

(SCQ): ∃ ¯xRn:f(x¯,t) <0 ∀t T. 131

Definition 2.2 An index t T is said to be immobile in the problem (SIP) iff

132

f(x,t)=0 for allxX. 133

From Definition2.2, it follows that any immobile index is an optimal solution of

134

thelower level problem

135 (LLP(x)): max t∈Rp f(x,t), s.t. tT := {t∈R p, gs(t) ≤0, sS}, 136 for allx X. 137

Author Proof

(8)

proof

Consider an indext T. Denote by Sa(t)the set of active indices in problem 138

(LLP(x)):Sa(t):= {sS: gs(t)=0}, and byL(t)the linearized tangent cone to the

139

setT att:L(t):= {l ∈Rp:∂gsT(t)

t l≤0, sSa(t)}.

140

In [27], the necessary optimality conditions for the lower level problem were

for-141

mulated under theMangasarian–Fromovitz CQ, which is the most well known and

142

widely used regularity condition.

143

Definition 2.3 Given the lower level problem (LLP(x)), the Mangasarian–Fromovitz

144

CQ is said to hold att¯T iff

145 (MFCQ): lRp:∂g T s (t¯) ∂t l<0, sSa(t¯). 146

Note that(MFCQ)is supposed to fulfill att¯T ifSa(t¯)= ∅. 147

Denote byTT the set of all immobile indices in (SIP). For t¯ T∗,x Rn,

148

and l L(t¯), consider a parametric linear programming (LP) problem

149 (LP(x,t¯,l)): max w∈RpfT(x,t¯) ∂t w, s.t. ∂gTs(t¯) ∂t w≤ −l T∂2gs(t¯) ∂t2 l, sSa(t¯). 150

Suppose thatx Xand(MFCQ)holds att¯T∗. Then, problem (LP(x,t¯,l)) has an

151

optimal solution for alll L(t¯).

152

Denote by val(P)the optimal value of the cost function of an optimization problem

153

(P) and consider the functions defined forx Rn, t T∗, andl L(t),

154 F1(x,t,l):=f T(x,t)t l, F2(x,t,l):=l T∂2f(x,t) ∂t2 l+val(LP(x,t,l)). (3) 155

Then, givenx X, the first and the second order necessary optimality conditions for

156 ¯

t T∗in the problem (LLP(x)) can be formulated in terms of functions (3), as follows

157 (see [27]), respectively: 158 F1(x,t¯,l)≤0 ∀lL(t¯), F2(x,t¯,l)≤0 ∀lC(x,t¯), (4) 159 whereC(x,t¯):= {lL(t¯):∂f T(x,t¯)

t l =0}is thecone of critical directionsat the

160

pointt¯in the lower level problem (LLP(x)).

161

Given immobile indext¯T∗, taking into account conditions (4), which should be

162

fulfilled by allx X, let us give the next definition.

163

Definition 2.4 Lett¯T∗satisfy (MFCQ) andl¯ L(t¯),l¯=0.Define the immobility

164

orderq(t¯,l¯)of the immobile indext¯along the directionl¯as follows:

165

q(t¯,l¯)=0, if∃ ¯x=x(t¯,l¯) Xsuch thatF1(x¯,t¯,l¯) <0; 166

q(t¯,l¯) = 1, if F1(x,t¯,l¯) = 0,∀xX, and ∃ ¯x = x(t¯,l¯) ∈ X such that 167 F2(x¯,t¯,l¯) <0; 168 – q(t¯,l¯) >1, ifF1(x,t¯,l¯)=0 andF2(x,t¯,l¯)=0, x X. 169

Author Proof

(9)

uncorrected

proof

It is seen from the definition, that in the case F1(x,t¯,l¯)=0,F2(x,t¯,l¯)=0, for 170

allx X, the immobility order of the indext¯is greater than one. It is easy to specify

171

the value ofq(t¯,l¯)for this case, but we will not do it here, since our study is based on

172

the following assumptions.

173

Assumption 1 Given a feasible solutionxX of the convex SIP problem (1), the

174

lower level problem (LLP(x)) meets the regularity condition (MFCQ) at any immobile

175

indext¯∈T∗⊂T.

176

Assumption 2 Given problem (SIP), for all t¯ ∈ T∗, it holds q(t¯,l) ≤ 1 for all

177

lL(t¯), l=0.

178

Assumptions1and2are supposed to be trivially satisfied ifT∗= ∅. 179

In [27], it was proved that, under Assumptions 1and2, the setT∗of immobile

180

indices in the convex problem (SIP) is finite and, therefore, admits a presentation

181

T:= {tj,j J}, where 0≤ |J|<. 182

Consider j J and the corresponding immobile index tj T∗. The set

183

L(j):=L(tj∗)(the linearized tangent cone to the index setT in the pointtj) admits

184

an alternative representation in terms ofextremal rays(see [25]):

185 L(j):= ⎧ ⎨ ⎩ lRp: ∃βi,iP(j), αi ≥0,iI(j) such thatl= iP(j) βibi(j)+ iI(j) αiai(j) ⎫ ⎬ ⎭ , (5) 186

where bi(j),iP(j), are bidirectional extremal rays, and ai(j),iI(j), are

187

unidirectional extremal rays of the coneL(j). The extremal rays can be constructed

188

using the procedure described in [28]. Note here that the extremal rays satisfy the

189 following properties: 190 iP(j) |βi| + iI(j) αi >0⇒ l = iP(j) βibi(j)+ iI(j) αiai(j)=0, (6) 191 biT(j)am(j)=0, iP(j), mI(j). (7) 192

Given jJ and the corresponding cone L(j), denote by I0(j)and I(j)the

193

indices of the unidirectional extremal raysai(j),iI(j), such thatq(tj,ai(j))≥1

194 andq(tj,ai(j))=0, respectively: 195 I0(j):= i I(j):f T(x,tj) ∂t ai(j)=0, ∀xX , I(j):=I(j)\I0(j). 196 (8) 197 LetC0(j):= {l∈Rp:l=iP(jibi(j)+iI0(jiai(j), αi ≥0, iI0(j)}. 198

It is shown in [27] that, giventj T∗, the setC0(j)\{0}consists of all directions 199

l L(j), whose immobility orders are greater that one. Therefore,

200

F1(x,tj,l):= ∂fT(x,tj) ∂t l=0, ∀lC0(j), ∀xX. (9) 201

By construction,C0(j)C(x,tj∗)L(j), x X.In what follows, for simplicity,

202

we will use notationF1j(x,l):= F1(x,tj,l),F2j(x,l):= F2(x,tj,l),jJ∗ for

203

the functions defined in (3). In [27], the following result was proved.

204

Theorem 2.1 (Theorem 2 in [27], under additional Assumption2)Given problem

205

(SIP), let Assumptions1and2be fulfilled. If for x0 X , there exist subsets of indices

206 and vectors 207 {tj,jJa} ⊂Ta(x0)\T∗, 208 {lk(j),k=1, . . . ,m(j)} ⊂ {lC0(j):F2j(x0,l)=0},jJ∗, 209 with|Ja| + j∈J∗ m(j) <∞, (10) 210

such that the point x0is optimal in the followingNLPproblem:

211 min c(x), 212 (NLP∗): s.t. f(x,tj)=0, F1j(x,bi(j))=0,iP(j), 213 F1j(x,ai(j))=0,iI0(j), F1j(x,ai(j))≤0,iI∗(j), 214 F2j(x,lk(j))≤0,k=1, . . . ,m(j),jJ∗; f(x,tj)≤0,jJa, 215 (11) 216

then x0is an optimal solution in the problem(SIP).

217

Here and in what follows,Ta(x)is the active index set at a feasible solutionx

218

X:Ta(x):= {tT: f(x,t)=0}.

219

Denote by Q = Q(T∗) Rn, the set defined by the equality constraints

220

of the problem (NLP): Q = {x Rn: f(x,tj) = 0,F1j(x,bi(j)) = 0,i

221

P(j),F1j(x,ai(j))=0,iI0(j),jJ∗}.

222

Then, problem(NLP∗)can be written in the form

223 min c(x), 224 (NLP∗): s.t. x∈ ¯Q:=xQ:F1j(x,ai(j))≤0,iI∗(j),jJ∗, 225 F2j(x,lk(j))≤0,k=1, . . . ,m(j),jJ∗; f(x,tj)≤0,jJa. 226 (12) 227

It follows from Lemmas 3 and 5, and Corollary 4 in [27], that, under Assumptions

228

1and2, the problem(NLP∗)possesses the following properties.

229

Property 2.1 The set Q=Q(T∗)is convex.

230

(11)

uncorrected

proof

Property 2.2 There exists a pointx˜ X such that

231 F1j(x˜,l) <0, ∀lL(j)\C0(j),l =1; (13) 232 F2j(x˜,l) <0, ∀lC0(j), l =1, jJ∗; (14) 233 f(x˜,t) <0, tT\T∗. (15) 234

Property 2.3 For all jJ, the auxiliary functions F1j(x,l)with lL(j)are

235

convex w.r.t. x in Q and the functions F2j(x,l)with lC0(j), are convex w.r.t. x in

236

the convex setQ defined in¯ (12).

237

Here and in what follows, we use the Euclidean norm|| · ||. 238

Basing on Theorem 2.1and the properties above, we can conclude that, under

239

Assumptions1and2, the sufficient optimality conditions for a feasible solutionx0

240

in the problem (SIP) can be substituted by the optimality conditions for x0 in the

241

auxiliary problem(NLP∗), which is convex and satisfies the Slater type CQ (Property

242 2.2).

243

3 Parametric Problem

(

P

(ε))

and Its Properties

244

In this section, using the constraints of the problem(NLP), we introduce a special

245

parametric problem and study its properties, which are crucial for the proof of the

246

necessary optimality conditions for the problem (SIP).

247

Suppose that the problem (SIP) has an optimal solutionx0. Givenε >0, define the

248

249 consider a problem 250 (P(ε)): minc(x), s.t. xY B, f(x,t)0, tT(ε), 251 where Y = Y(T∗) := {x ∈ ¯Q:F2j(x,l) ≤ 0,∀lC0(j),jJ∗},B = 252

B(ε0,x0):= {x∈Rn: xx0 ≤ε0}, ε0being an arbitrary fixed number satisfying 253

the inequality|| ˜xx0||> ε0, andx˜ ∈X a point satisfying relations (13)–(15). 254

It is easy to see that the setY is defined by the constraints of the problem(NLP∗)

255

corresponding to the immobile indices of the original problem (SIP). In the case

256

T= ∅, we haveY =RnandT(ε):=T. It follows from Properties2.1and2.3, that

257

the setYis convex, hence the setYBis convex as well. Since the feasible set of the

258

problem(P(ε))is bounded, closed and not empty (vectorx0is feasible), this problem

259

has an optimal solution.

260

The main properties of the parametric problem (P(ε))can be derived from the

261

following proposition.

262

Proposition 3.1 Suppose that Assumptions1 and2 are satisfied. Consider a vector

263 ˜

xX satisfying inequalities(13)–(15), and let zY . Then, for any sufficiently small

264

ε >0, there exists a numberλ(ε)∈ [0,1]such that

f(x(λ(ε),z),t)0,t Tε(j),jJ∗, andλ(ε)→0asε↓0, (16) 266 where x(λ,z):=(1−λ)zx˜=z+λ(x˜−z), λ∈ [0,1]. 267

Proof Givenz Y, setx(λ) := x(λ,z). Letε > 0 be a sufficiently small positive

268 number. Denote 269 λj(t):= ⎧ ⎨ ⎩ f(z,t) f(z,t) f(x˜,t), if f(z,t) >0, 0, if f(z,t)0, t Tε(j),jJ∗. (17) 270

Since the function f(x,t) is convex w.r.t. x, then f(x(λ),t) ≤ 0 for λ ∈ 271

j(t),1],tTε(j),jJ∗.Note that if f(z,t) ≤ 0 for all tT¯ε(j), jJ∗,

272

and some ε >¯ 0, thenλj(t) = 0 for alltTε(j), jJ∗, and all 0 < ε ≤ ¯ε.

273

Consequently, relations (16) take place withλ(ε)≡0, 0< ε≤ ¯ε,and the proposition

274

is proved for this case.

275

Let j Jbe an arbitrary index such thatTε(j)∩T+(z)= ∅, whereT+(z): = 276 {tT: f(z,t) >0}.By construction, f(z,t) >0,tTε(j)∩T+(z).Hence 277 0≤λj(t)≤ − f(z,t) f(x˜,t) =:µj(t),tTε(j)∩T +(z). (18) 278 To show that 279 µj(t)≤Oj(ε) fortTε(j)∩T+(z), (19) 280

where Oj(ε) → 0 as ε ↓ 0, suppose that (19) is not satisfied. Hence, there exist

281

sequencesεi >0,tiTεi(j)∩T+(z),i =1,2, . . ., such that 282

||titj|| =εi, lim

i→∞εi =0, ilim→∞µj(ti)= ¯µj >0. (20)

283

For anyi =1,2, . . ., the indextiTεi(j)∩T+(z)⊂ T can be represented in the 284

formti =tj +ti, wheretii.Therefore,

285 gs(ti)= ∂gsT(tj) ∂t ti +oi)≤0, sSa(tj). (21) 286

where 296 l(∗) :=Aα¯, l(0):=(A0,B) ¯ α0 ¯ β ; 297 ¯ α0 ≥ 0, α¯∗≥0; l(∗) = |l(0) =1, 298 A0 = A0(j):=(ai(j),iI0(j)); A∗= A∗(j):=(ai(j),iI∗(j)); 299 B = B(j):=(bi(j),iP(j)); ¯α0=(α¯i(j),iI0(j)); 300 ¯ α = (α¯i(j),iI∗(j)); ¯β =(β¯i(j),iP(j)); (24) 301

and the coefficientsα¯i andβ¯i are associated with the representation ofl¯∈ L(j)in

302

terms of the extremal rays [see (5)]. Here we took into account (7).

303

From (6), it follows that the sets{α:α0, αTATAα=1}and{(β, α0):α0≥ 304

0, βTBTBβ +αT0AT0A0α0 =1}are closed and bounded. Hereα0 ∈R|I0(j)|, α∗ ∈

305

R|I∗(j)|, βR|P(j)|. 306

One of two following cases can occur in (23): A.γ>0, B.γ=0. 307

Let us, first, assume that the case A holds. Since ti = tj + ¯lεi + oi)

308 and ∂f T( ˜ x,tj) ∂t l (0) = 0, then f(x˜,ti) = f(x˜,tj) + εifT(x˜,tj) ∂t l¯ + oi) = 309 εifT(x˜,tj) ∂t (γ∗l (∗) +γ0l(0))+oi)= εifT(x˜,tj) ∂t l (∗)γ ∗+oi) ≤ εiγ∗C1+oi), 310

wherel(∗) = Aα¯[see (24)] andC1is the optimal value of the cost function in the 311

problem maxα

fT(x˜,tj)

t A∗α∗, s.t.α∗TATA∗α∗=1, α∗≥0.

312

AsAα∈/C0(j)for anyα≥0, α=0, inequalities (13) hold. Hence,C1<0 313

and for a sufficiently smallεi >0 we have

314

f(x˜,ti)≥ −Ciγ∗+oi) >0. (25)

315

Taking into account that, by construction, f(z,tj)=0,∂f T(z,tj) ∂t l (0) =0,∂f T(z,tj) ∂t l (∗) 316 ≤ 0, it holds f(z,ti)=εifT(z,tj)

t l(∗)γ∗+o1(εi) > 0,wherefrom, with respect to

317 the inequalityεifT(z,tj) ∂t l (∗)γ ∗≤0, we get 318 0< f(z,ti)≤o1(εi). (26) 319

From (25) and (26), it followsµj(ti) = −ff((zx˜,,ttii)) ≤ −C1εioγ1(εi)

∗+o(εi) = Oji), that 320

contradicts assumption (20).

321

Now, let us consider case B:γ=0 in (23). By assumption,zY, and taking into

322

accountl(0)C0(j), one gets

323 F2j(z,l(0))=(l(0))T ∂2f(z,tj) ∂t2 l (0) +valLPz,tj,l(0)0. (27) 324

The constraints of the problem (LP(z,tj,l(0))) are consistent and it follows from (27)

325

that val(LP(z,tj,l(0))) < +∞. Hence, this problem has a dual solution, i.e., there

326

exist numbersys =ys(z), sSa(tj), such that

327

sSa(tj) ysgs(tj) ∂t = ∂f(z,tj) ∂t ; ys ≥0,sSa(tj), (28) 328 val(LP(z,tj,l(0)))= − s∈Sa(tj) ys(l(0))T ∂2gs(tj) ∂t2 l (0). (29) 329

Sinceti =tj +tiwithti defined in (22), then the inequalities

330 gs(ti)=gs(tj)+ ∂gsT(tj) ∂t ti + 1 2t T i ∂2gs(tj) ∂t2 ti+o(ε 2 i)≤0, sSa(tj), 331

can be rewritten in the form

332 εigsT(tj) ∂t (l¯+wi(ti))+ 1 2ε 2 il¯T ∂2gs(tj) ∂t2 l¯+o(ε 2 i)≤0, sSa(tj). (30) 333 Similarly, we have 334 f(z,ti)=εifT(z,tj) ∂t (l¯+wi(ti))+ 1 2ε 2 il¯T ∂2f(z,tj) ∂t2 l¯+o(ε 2 i). (31) 335

From (MFCQ), one can conclude that the set of vectors ys,sSa(tj)satisfying

336

(28), is bounded. Multiply each inequality in (30) by the corresponding value ys

337

0,sSa(tj), and sum the resulting inequalities:

338 εi sSa(tj) ysgsT(tj) ∂t (l¯+wi(ti))≤ − 1 2ε 2 i sSa(tj) ¯ lT ∂2gs(tj) ∂t2 l¯+o(ε 2 i). (32) 339

From (28) and (31), it follows

340 f(z,ti)=εi sSa(tj) ysgTs(tj) ∂t (l¯+wi(ti))+ 1 2ε 2 il¯T ∂2f(z,tj) ∂t2 l¯+o(ε 2 i). 341

This relation, together with (32), implies

342 f(z,ti)≤ 1 2ε 2 il¯ T ⎛ ⎜ ⎝− s∈Sa(tj) ys ∂2gs(tj) ∂t2 + ∂2f(z,tj) ∂t2 ⎞ ⎟ ⎠l¯+o(ε 2 i), 343

wherefrom, w.r.t. the equality (29), the inequality 0< f(z,ti), and the fact thatl¯=l(0)

344

in the case B, we get 0 < f(z,ti) ≤ 12ε2iF2j(z,l(0))+oi2).Taking into account

345

(27), from the last inequalities we get

346

(15)

uncorrected

proof

0< f(z,ti)≤o(ε2i). (33)

347

Similarly, we have f(x˜,ti) ≤ 2i2F2j(x˜,l(0))+ ˜oi2) ≤ 12ε2iC2+ ˜oi2), where 348

f(x˜,ti) <0 andC2denotes the optimal value of the cost function in the problem 349 max β,α0 F2j(x˜,Bβ+A0α0), s.t.β TBTBβ0TAT0A0α0=1, α0≥0. 350

Since Bβ+A0α0∈ C0(j)for any(β, α0)= 0, α0 ≥0, the inequalities (14) take 351

place. Hence, forC2, defined above, andεi >0 sufficiently small, it holdsC2<0 and 352

f(x˜,ti)≥ −12εi2C2+ ˜o(ε2i) >0.From the last inequality together with (25) and 353

(33), we getµj(ti) = ff(z(x,˜t,it)i)

354

our assumption (20). The contradictions obtained in the cases A and B, prove that

355

relations (19) take place.

356

Setλ(ε):=max{λj(ε),jJ∗}, where

357 λj(ε):= 0, if Tε(j)∩T+(z)= ∅, max tTε(j)∩T+(z) µj(t), if Tε(j)∩T+(z)= ∅. 358

It follows from (18) and (19) thatλ(ε)→0 asε↓0 and, by construction,λ(ε)≥λj(t)

359

fortTε(j)∩T+(z). Hence, relations (16) are fulfilled. ⊓⊔ 360

It is worth mentioning that the proof of Proposition3.1(for SIP problems with

361

finitely representable index sets) at the root is different from that of Proposition 5 in

362

[17] (for SIP problems with the box constrained index sets). This is due to the fact

363

that, in spite of the external similarity, the parametric problem(P(ε))fundamentally

364

differs from the parametric problem, which was introduced in [17]. This difference is

365

explained by the more complex geometry of the finitely representable index set, and

366

makes it impossible to simply transfer the evidence of [17] on the more complex case.

367

The following two corollaries, that can be proved in a similar way as Corollary 3

368

and Proposition 6 in [17], are obtained on the basis of Proposition3.1.

369

Corollary 3.1 Suppose that Assumptions1and2are satisfied for the convex problem

370

(SIP). Then,limε↓0c(z0(ε)) = c(x0), where x0 is an optimal solution of problem 371

(SIP)and z0(ε)is an optimal solution of the problem(P(ε)).

372

Corollary 3.2 Suppose that Assumptions1and2 are satisfied for the convex problem

373

(SIP). Consider a vector function x(λ,z)=(1−λ)z+λx˜, λ∈ [0,1], where vector

374 ˜

x satisfies(13)–(15), and zY . Then for allλ∈]0,1], there exists=(λ,z) >0

375

such that f(x(λ,z),t)0, t T(j), jJ∗.

4.1 Implicit Optimality Criteria 382

Using Corollaries3.1and3.2, and following the main steps the proof of Theorem 1

383

from [17], we can prove the following theorem.

384

Theorem 4.1 Suppose that Assumptions1and2are satisfied for the convex problem

385

(SIP). Then, a feasible solution x0 X is optimal in this problem if and only if there

386

exists a set{tj, jJa} ⊂Ta(x0)\T∗, |Ja| ≤n, such that x0is an optimal solution

387

of the auxiliary problem

388

(AP): minc(x), s.t. xY, f(x,tj)≤0,jJa.

389

Now, let us rewrite the problem (AP) in the form

390

min

x∈ ¯Q⊂Rnc(x),

s.t. F2j(x,l)≤0, ∀lC0(j), l =1, jJ∗; f(x,tj)≤0, jJa,

391

where the setQ¯ Rnis defined in (12). Under Assumptions1and2, problem (AP)

392

possesses the Properties2.1–2.3and, therefore, satisfies the conditions of Theorem 1

393

from [29]. Applying this result together with Theorem4.1, one can prove the following

394

theorem.

395

Theorem 4.2 (Implicit optimality criterion)Suppose that Assumptions1and2 are

396

satisfied for the convex problem(SIP). Then, the feasible solution x0 X is optimal iff

397

there exist a set of indices{tj,jJa} ⊂Ta(x0)\Tand a set of vectors lk(j), k=

398

1, . . . ,m(j),j J, defined in(10), such that

399 |Ja| + jJ m(j)n, (34) 400

and the vector x0is an optimal solution of the convexNLPproblem(11).

401

Note that the optimality conditions given by this theorem, are both necessary and

402

sufficient, and the Assumptions1and2are not too restrictive.

403

According to Theorem4.2, given feasiblex0, instead of testing its optimality in

404

theinfinite dimension SIP problem(SIP), one can test the optimality ofx0in afinite

405

dimensionNLP problem(NLP). The transition to a simpler and more studied problem

406

allows us to obtain new explicit optimality conditions for convex SIP. In fact, having

407

applied Theorem4.2and any optimality conditions for the convex problem(NLP) 408

(either some conditions already known from the theory of NLP, or new ones, that are

409

specially formulated for the case), one gets new optimality conditions for SIP. Some

410

of such conditions are presented in the next section.

411

mality conditions for this problem. These conditions differ from the known ones and

415

are formulated under assumptions that are less restrictive than the usually used CQs.

418 (LPj(x)): max w ∂fT(x,tj) ∂t w, s.t. ∂gsT(tj) ∂t w≤0 sSa(tj). 419

The following lemma states some important properties of this problem.

420

Lemma 4.1 Given x∈ ¯Q and j J, any feasible solution of the problem(LPj(x)) 421 admits a representation 422 µ= iP(j) bi(ji+ iI0(j)∪I∗(j) ai(ji, αi ≥0, iI∗(j). (35) 423

Moreover, this problem has an optimal solution andval(LPj(x))=0.

424

Proof Forx ∈ ¯Qand jJ, consider the problem(LPj(x)). Letµbe its feasible

425

solution. It follows from the definition of the setsSa∗(tj)andS0a(tj), that there exist

426

numbersα˜i ≥0,iI0(j), such that the vector 427 ¯ µ:=µ+ iI0(j) ai(j)α˜i (36) 428

satisfies the relations∂g

T s(tj) ∂t µ¯ ≤0, sSa(tj), ∂fT(x,tj) ∂t µ¯ = ∂fT(x,tj) ∂t µ. 429

Then,µ¯ ∈L(j)and the following representation is possible:

430 ¯ µ= iP(j) bi(j)β¯i + iI0(j)∪I(j) ai(j)α¯i, α¯i ≥0, iI0(j)∪I∗(j). (37) 431

From the inclusionx ∈ ¯Q, it follows ∂f

T(x,tj) ∂t µ¯ ≤0 and, hence, ∂fT(x,tj) ∂t µ≤0 for 432

each feasible solutionµof the problem(LPj(x)). Then, evidently, vectorµ=0 is an

433

optimal solution and val(LPj(x))=0.

434

Moreover, from equalities (36) and (37), it follows:µ= ¯µ

iI0(j)ai(j)α˜i = 435 iP(j)bi(j)β¯i+iI0(j)ai(j)(α¯i − ˜αi)+ iI(j)ai(j)α¯i, α¯i ≥0, iI∗(j). 436

This proves that every feasible solutionµof the problem(LPj(x))admits

Then, x0is an optimal solution of the problem(SIP).

450

Note that here and in what follows, it may happen thatm(j0)=0 for some j0∈ J∗.

451

This means that the set{lk(j0),k=1, . . . ,m(j0)}is empty.

452

Proof For x0 ∈ ¯Q and j J, let us consider the problem (LPj(x0)). It fol-453

lows from Lemma 4.1, that 0 = ∂f T(x0,tj) ∂t µ = ∂fT(x0,tj) ∂t iI(j)ai(ji for 454

µ = µj ∈ sol(LPj(x0)). Taking into account the last equality and the inequalities

455 ∂fT(x0,tj) ∂t ai(j)≤0, αi ≥0, iI∗(j), we obtain 456 αi ≥0, if ∂fT(x0,tj) ∂t ai(j)=0; 457 αi =0, if ∂fT(x0,tj) ∂t ai(j) <0, iI∗(j). (40) 458

Letx¯be a feasible solution in (11). Since problem (11) is convex, then for allλ∈ [0,1],

459

the vectorx(λ):= x0(1−λ)+ ¯xλ=x0+λxwithx := ¯xx0is its feasible

proof

Sinceµk(j)∈sol(LP(x0,tj,lk(j))), the inequalities (44) imply

467 xT ∂ ∂x lkT(j) ∂2f(x0,tj) ∂t2 lk(j) +xT ∂2f(x0,tj) ∂xt µk(j)≤0, 468 k=1, . . . ,m(j), jJ. (45) 469

Letx be a vector satisfying conditions (42), (43) andµj ∈ sol(LPj(x0)). Taking

470

into account (35), (40), and (43), we obtain

471 xT∂ 2f(x0,tj) ∂xt µj = iI(j) xT∂ 2f(x0,tj) ∂xt ai(ji ≤0. (46) 472

By assumption, equality (39) holds true. Let us multiply both sides of this equality by

473

xT and take into account (41)–(46). As a result, we get

474 xTc(x 0)x = − jJa νjxTf(x0,tj) ∂xjJ λjxTf(x0,tj) ∂x 475 − jJ xT∂ 2f(x0,tj) ∂xt µj 476 + m(j) k=1 xT ∂2f(x0,tj) ∂xt µk(j) 477 + ∂ ∂x lkT(j)∂ 2f(x0,tj) ∂t2 lk(j) ≥0. 478

Thus, we have shown that for every feasible solutionx¯of problem (11) the inequality

479

cT(x0) ∂x (x¯ −x

0)

≥ 0 holds true. Note that since the function c(x)is convex, then

480

cT(x0) ∂x (x¯−x

0)

c(x¯)c(x0).The last two inequalities imply the inequalityc(x0) 481

c(x¯), which has to be satisfied by all feasible solutionsx¯of problem (11). This means

482

that the vectorx0 ∈ X is an optimal solution of this problem. Taking into account

483

that the set of feasible solutionsXof the original SIP problem is a subset of the set of

484

feasible solutions of problem (11), we conclude that the vectorx0solves the original

485

SIP problem as well. The theorem is proved. ⊓⊔ 486

Theorem 4.4 (Explicit optimality criterion)Let Assumptions1 and2hold true for

493

the convex problem (SIP). Suppose that (CRCQ)is satisfied at x0 ∈ X . Then, the

494

vector x0 is an optimal solution of problem(SIP)iff there exist indices tj,jJa,

495

and vectors lk(j),k=1, . . . ,m(j),jJ, defined in (10)and (34), as well as

496

vectors µk(j), k = 1, . . . ,m(j), and µj,jJ, defined in (38), and numbers

497

λj,jJ∗, νj ≥0,jJa, such that equality(39)takes place.

498

Proof It follows from Theorem4.2, that there exist indicestj,jJa, and vectors

499 ¯

lk(j),k =1, . . . ,m(j),jJ∗, defined in (10) such that the vectorx0is optimal in

500

problem (11). Rewrite the last problem in the form

501 min c(x), s.t. f(x,tj)=0, ∂f T(x,tj) ∂t bi(j)=0,iP(j), ∂fT(x,tj) ∂t ai(j)=0,iI0(j), ∂fT(x,tj) ∂t ai(j)≤0,iI∗(j), (lk¯(j))T∂ 2f(x,tj) ∂t2 lk¯(j)+val LP(x,tj,lk¯(j))0,k=1, . . . ,m(j), jJ, f(x,tj)0,jJa. (48) 502

It follows from the assumptions of the theorem, that problem (48) possesses the

503

Properties2.1–2.3(see Sect.2) and the following one: there exists a neighborhood

504

Ω(x0)Rnofx0such that the system of vectors (47) has a constant rank for every

505

xΩ(x0).According to [31], under fulfillment of these properties, a feasible vector

506

x0is an optimal solution in problem (48) if and only if there exist numbers and vectors

507 νj ≥0,jJa; λj, ωi(j),iP(j), γi(j),iI0(j), γi(j)≥0,iI∗(j); 508 λk j ≥0, µ¯k j∈sol(LP(x0,tj,l¯k(j))), k=1, . . . ,m(j), jJ∗, 509 such thatγi(j) ∂fT(x0,tj)

t ai(j)=0,iI∗(j),jJ∗, and the equality

510 ∂c(x0) ∂x + jJa νjf(x0,tj) ∂x + jJ λjf(x0,tj) ∂x + ∂2f(x0,tj) ∂xt µj 511 + m(j) k=1 λk j ∂2f(x0,tj) ∂xt µ¯k j+ ∂ ∂x (l¯k(j))T ∂2f(x0,tj) ∂t2 l¯k(j) ⎤ ⎦=0 (49) 512

holds true with

513 µj := ⎛ ⎝ iP(j) bi(ji(j)+ iI0(j)∪I∗(j) ai(ji(j) ⎞ ⎠,jJ. (50) 514

proof

It follows from Lemma 4.1, that for j J, the vector µj is feasible in problem

515 (LPj(x0))and ∂fT(x0,tj) ∂t µj =0.Hence,µj ∈sol(LPj(x 0)). 516

Basing on Theorem4.2and equality (49), without loss of generality, we can

sup-517

pose thatλk j > 0,k = 1, . . . ,m(j), jJ∗, since in the case whenλk j = 0, we

518

may exclude from consideration the vectorl¯k(j)and the corresponding constraint of

519 problem (48). Denote 520 lk(j):= λk j l¯k(j), µk(j):=λk jµ¯k(j), k=1, . . . ,m(j),jJ∗. (51) 521 Evident
