Abstract:

In this paper, we study optimality conditions of approximate solutions for nonsmooth semi-infinite programming problems. Three new classes of functions, namely -pseudoconvex functions of type I and type II and -quasiconvex functions are introduced, respectively. By utilizing these new concepts, sufficient optimality conditions of approximate solutions for the nonsmooth semi-infinite programming problem are established. Some examples are also presented. The results obtained in this paper improve the corresponding results of Son et al. (J Optim Theory Appl 141:389–409, 2009).
