AN INVARIANT PROPERTY OF INVEX FUNCTIONS AND APPLICATIONS

DO VAN LUU, NGUYEN XUAN HA

pp. 181-193

Abstract

Under directional differentiability assumptions, we prove that the minimum or the maximum of a finite family of invex functions is again an invex function. This invariant property of the invex functions is used to obtain first-order optimality conditions for a class of optimization problems.
