Characterizations of pseudoconvex functions and semistrictly quasiconvex ones
In this paper we provide some new necessary and sufficient conditions for pseudoconvexity and semistrict quasiconvexity of a given proper extended real-valued function in terms of the Clarke-Rockafellar subdifferential. Further we extend to programs with pseudoconvex objective function two earlier characterizations of the solutions set of a set constrained nonlinear programming problem due to O...
متن کاملA Characterization of Quasiconvex Vector-valued Functions
The aim of this paper is to characterize in terms of scalar quasiconvexity the vector-valued functions which are K-quasiconvex with respect to a closed convex cone K in a Banach space. Our main result extends a wellknown characterization of K-quasiconvexity by means of extreme directions of the polar cone of K, obtained by Dinh The Luc in the particular case when K is a polyhedral cone generate...
متن کاملQuasiconvex functions and Hessian equations
In this note we construct new examples of quasiconvex functions defined on the set Sn×n of symmetric matrices. They are built on the k-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues, k = 1, 2, ..., n. The idea is motivated by Šverák’s paper [S]. The proof of our result relies on the theory of the so-called k-Hessian equations, which have been intensively studied recently, see [CNS], [T], [...
متن کاملQuasiconvex Functions and Nonlinear Pdes
A second order characterization of functions which have convex level sets (quasiconvex functions) results in the operator L0(Du,Du) = min{v ·D2u vT | |v| = 1, |v ·Du| = 0}. In two dimensions this is the mean curvature operator, and in any dimension L0(Du,Du)/|Du| is the first principal curvature of the surface S = u−1(c). Our main results include a comparison principle for L0(Du,Du) = g when g ...
متن کاملOn Weak Pareto Optimality for Pseudoconvex Nonsmooth Multiobjective Optimization Problems
The purpose of this paper is to characterize the weak Pareto optimality for multiobjective pseudoconvex problem. In fact, it is a first order optimality characterization that generalize the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition. Moreover, this work is an extension of the single-objective case [6] to the multiobjective one with pseudoconvex continuous functions. Mathematics Subject Classification: 46N10,...
