چکیده

In this paper we introduce the concepts of quasimonotone maps and pseudoconvex functions. Moreover, a notion of pseudomonotonicity for multi mappings is introduced; it is shown that, if a function f is continuous, then its pseudoconvexity is equivalent to the pseudomonotonicity of its generalized subdifferential in the sense of Clarke and Rockafellar and prove that a lower semicontinuous function on an infinite dimensional space is quasiconvex if and only if its generalized subdifferential is quasimonotone.

Elements of Quasiconvex Subdifferential Calculus

A number of rules for the calculus of subdifferentials of generalized convex functions are displayed. The subdifferentials we use are among the most significant for this class of functions, in particular for quasiconvex functions: we treat the Greenberg-Pierskalla’s subdifferential and its relatives and the Plastria’s lower subdifferential. We also deal with a recently introduced subdifferentia...

Hermite-Hadamard inequality for geometrically quasiconvex functions on co-ordinates

In this paper we introduce the concept of geometrically quasiconvex functions on the co-ordinates and establish some Hermite-Hadamard type integral inequalities for functions defined on rectangles in the plane. Some  inequalities for product of two geometrically quasiconvex functions on the co-ordinates are considered.

Partial second-order subdifferentials of -prox-regular functions

Although prox-regular functions in general are nonconvex, they possess properties that one would expect to find in convex or lowerC2  functions. The class of prox-regular functions covers all convex functions, lower C2  functions and strongly amenable functions. At first, these functions have been identified in finite dimension using proximal subdifferential. Then, the definition of prox-regula...

Relaxed Quasimonotone Operators and Relaxed Quasiconvex Functions

In this paper, we introduce the class of multivalued relaxed μ quasimonotone operators and establish the existence of solutions of variational inequalities for such operators. This result is compared with a recent result of Bai et al on densely relaxed pseudomonotone operators. A similar comparison regarding an existence result of Luc on densely pseudomonotone operators is provided. Also, we in...

On Generalized Monotone Multifunctions with Applications to Optimality Conditions in Generalized Convex Programming

Characterization of quasiconvexity and pseudoconvexity of lower semicontinuous functions on Banach spaces are presented in terms of abstract subdifferentials relying on a Mean Value Theorem. We give some properties of the normal cone to the lower level set of f . We also obtain necessary and sufficient optimality conditions in quasiconvex and pseudoconvex programming via variational inequalities.
