Generalized tangent cone and an optimization problem in a normed space (Q1263530)

Most abstract multiplier rules in the literature are based on the tangential approximation at a point to some set in a Banach space. The present paper is concerned with the study of a generalized tangent cone, which is a tangential approximation to that set at a common point of two sets. The new notion of tangent cone generalizes previous concepts of tangent cones. This generalized tangent cone is used to characterize the optimality conditions for a simultaneous maximization and minimization problem. The paper is of theoretical character; practical applications are not found so far.
