On necessary conditions for infinite-dimensional extremum problems (Q2574765)

The authors study optimality conditions for extremum problems to be of infinite-dimensional image by the image space approach by means of associating to the feasible set a special multifunction whose values are given by suitable subsets of a finite-dimensional space. The existence of a selection of the image multifunction whose range has an empty intersection with a suitable subset in the image space will be an optimality condition for the problem. Analyses on the selection multipliers are also given.
