We present an approach for the solution of a class of generalized semi-infinite optimization problems. Our approach uses augmented Lagrangians to transform generalized semi-infinite min-max problems into ordinary semi-infinite min-max problems, with the same set of local and global solutions as well as the same stationary points. Once the transformation is effected, the generalized semi-infinit...

‎Linear semi-infinite programming problem is an important class of optimization problems which deals with infinite constraints‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎to solve this problem‎, ‎we combine a discretization method and a neural network method‎. ‎By a simple discretization of the infinite constraints,we convert the linear semi-infinite programming problem into linear programming problem‎. ‎Then‎, ‎we use...

In this paper, a trust region method for generalized semi-infinite programming problems is presented. The method is based on [O. Yi-gui, “A filter trust region method for solving semi-infinite programming problems”, J. Appl. Math. Comput. 29, 311 (2009)]. We transformed the method from standard to generalized semi-infinite programming problems. The semismooth reformulation of the Karush–Kuhn–Tu...

We introduce a new numerical solution method for semi-infinite optimization problems with convex lower level problems. The method is based on a reformulation of the semi-infinite problem as a Stackelberg game and the use of regularized nonlinear complementarity problem functions. This approach leads to central path conditions for the lower level problems, where for a given path parameter a smoo...

In 1972 Shapley and Shubik introduced assignment games associated to finite assignment problems in which two types of agents were involved and they proved that these games have a non-empty core. In this paper we look at the situation where the set of one type is infinite and investigate when the core of the associated game is non-empty. Two infinite programming problems arise here, which we tac...

the rapid melting of a semi- infinite body due to the absorption of a cw laser beam radiation has been studied. the enthalpy technique for the solution of phase change problems has been used in an explicit finite difference form to calculate the transient temperature distribution in the semi-infinite body and the growth rate of the melt pool. the technique has been modified so that it is not ne...

The aim of this paper is to give a survey of some basic theory of semi-infinite programming. In particular, we discuss various approaches to derivations of duality, discretization, and first and second order optimality conditions. Some of the surveyed results are well known while others seem to be less noticed in that area of research.
