On the optimality of differentiable nonconvex \(n\)-set functions (Q1206856): Difference between revisions

Our main contribution is the extension of the concepts of quasiconvexity and pseudoconvexity to \(n\)-set functions. Some properties of differentiable nonconvex \(n\)-set functions are established. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an optimal solution of the nonconvex program with \(n\)-set functions are characterized by derivatives of the \(n\)-set function involved. A duality theorem for the nonconvex program with \(n\)-set functions is also developed in this paper.
