Perturbation analysis of nonlinear semidefinite programming under Jacobian uniqueness conditions (Q2329659)

The authors consider the class of (finite-dimensional) nonlinear semidefinite programming problems as well as a corresponding sensitivity and perturbation analysis. The idea is to extend, under certain non-degeneracy conditions and constraint qualifications, Robinson's strong regularity results for generalized equations (and their application to standard nonlinear programming problems) to semidefinite programming. Here, the main tool used is the application of an implicit function theorem to an appropriately reformulated KKT-system for semidefinite programming problems.
