A new constraint qualification condition (Q1057189)

We introduce a new constraint qualification condition in mathematical programming which encompasses the Mangasarian-Fromovitz's condition and the constant rank condition of Janin. Contrarily to the Mangasarian- Fromovitz's condition, our condition is still satisfied when one translates equalities as double inequalities. It relies on the fact that linearization stability is easier to check with equalities than with inequalities.
