This paper is devoted to the study of the stability of the solution map for the parametric convex semi-infinite optimization problem under convex function perturbations in short, PCSI. We establish sufficient conditions for the pseudo-Lipschitz property of the solution map of PCSI under perturbations of both objective function and constraint set. The main result obtained is new even when the pr...

In this note we are concerned with the generalization given by Ferris and Philpott [3] of the affine scaling algorithm discovered by Dikin [2] to solve semi-infinite linear programming problems, in which the number of variables is finite, but the number of constraints is not. In [3] a discrepancy is pointed out between the classical algorithm and its generalization. The purpose of this note is ...

Robust optimal experiment design for dynamic system identification is cast as a minmax optimization problem, which is infinite-dimensional. If the input spectrum is discretized (either by considering a Riemmann approximation, or by restricting it to the span of a finite dimensional linear space), this problem falls within the class of semi-infinite convex programs. One approach to this optimiza...

A globally convergent algorithm is presented for the solution of a wide class of semi-infinite programming problems. The method is based on the solution of a sequence of equality constrained quadratic programming problems, and usually has a second order convergence rate. Numerical results illustrating the effectiveness of the method are given.

This paper provides sufficient conditions for the optimal value function of a given linear semi-infinite programming problem to depend linearly on the size of the perturbations, when these perturbations are directional, involve either the cost coefficients or the right-hand-side function or both, and they are sufficiently small. Two kinds of partitions are considered. The first one concerns the...

Semi-infinite linear programs often arise as the limit of a sequence of approximating linear programs. Hence, studying the behavior of extensions of linear programming algorithms to semi-infinite problems can yield valuable insight into the behavior of the underlying linear programming algorithm when the number of constraints or the number of variables is very large. In this paper, we study the...
