Second order symmetric and self dual programs (Q1083372)

Symmetric and self duality results are established for pseudo-bonvex and pseudo-boncave differentiable problems, i.e. for differentiable problems with some second order conditions that assure that the problem's functions have a certain convex (concave) behaviour. The research is closely related to the research of B. Mond and T. Weir who weakened the usual convexity concavity assumptions on the kernel function first to pseudo-convexity/pseudoconcavity and then to bonvexity/boncavity.
