Sufficient optimality criteria in continuous time programming

Continuous-time Markov decision processes with nth-bias optimality criteria

In this paper, we study the nth-bias optimality problem for finite continuous-time Markov decision processes (MDPs) with a multichain structure. We first provide nth-bias difference formulas for two policies and present some interesting characterizations of an nth-bias optimal policy by using these difference formulas. Then, we prove the existence of an nth-bias optimal policy by using nth-bias...

Sufficient global optimality conditions for general mixed integer nonlinear programming problems

‎In this paper‎, ‎some KKT type sufficient global optimality conditions‎ ‎for general mixed integer nonlinear programming problems with‎ ‎equality and inequality constraints (MINPP) are established‎. ‎We achieve‎ ‎this by employing a Lagrange function for MINPP‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎verifiable sufficient global optimality conditions for general mixed‎ ‎integer quadratic programming problems are der...

On some sufficient optimality conditions in multiobjective differentiable programming

Optimality Conditions and Duality in Minmax Fractional Programming, Part I: Necessary and Sufficient Optimality Conditions

The purpose of this paper is to develop a fairly large number of sets of global parametric sufficient optimality conditions under various generalized (F, b, φ, ρ, θ)univexity assumptions for a continuous minmax fractional programming problem involving arbitrary norms.

Necessary and Sufficient Optimality Conditions for Fuzzy Linear Programming

This paper is concerned with deriving necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a fuzzy linear programming problem. Toward this end, an equivalence between fuzzy and crisp linear programming problems is established by means of a specific ranking function. Under this setting, a main theorem gives optimality conditions which do not seem to be in conflict with the so-called Karush-Kuhn-Tu...
