Nondifferentiable G-Mond-Weir Type Multiobjective Symmetric Fractional Problem and Their Duality Theorems under Generalized Assumptions

[EN] In this article, a pair of nondifferentiable second-order symmetric fractional primal-dual model (G-Mond-Weir type model) in vector optimization problem is formulated over arbitrary cones. In addition, we construct a nontrivial numerical example, which helps to understand the existence of such type of functions. Finally, we prove weak, strong and converse duality theorems under aforesaid assumptions.Dubey, R.; Mishra, LN.; Sánchez Ruiz, LM. (2019).

Nonsmooth multiobjective optimization using limiting subdifferentials

AbstractIn this study, using the properties of limiting subdifferentials in nonsmooth analysis and regarding a separation theorem, some weak Pareto-optimality (necessary and sufficient) conditions for nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problems are proved

Vector optimization problems and approximated vector optimization problems

In this paper, a so-called approximated vector optimization problem associated to a vector optimization problem is considered. The equivalence between the efficient solutions of the approximated vector optimization problem and efficient solutions of the original optimization problem is established

Higher order duality in multiobjective fractional programming with support functions

AbstractIn this paper a new class of higher order (F,ρ,σ)-type I functions for a multiobjective programming problem is introduced, which subsumes several known studied classes. Higher order Mond–Weir and Schaible type dual programs are formulated for a nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programming problem where the objective functions and the constraints contain support functions of compact convex sets in Rn. Weak and strong duality results are studied in both the cases assuming the involved functions to be higher order (F,ρ,σ)-type I. A number of previously studied problems appear as special cases

On Higher-order Duality in Nondifferentiable Minimax Fractional Programming

In this paper, we consider a nondifferentiable minimax fractional programming problem with continuously differentiable functions and formulated two types of higher-order dual models for such optimization problem.Weak, strong and strict converse duality theorems are derived under higherorder generalized invexity

Efficient Output Kernel Learning for Multiple Tasks

The paradigm of multi-task learning is that one can achieve better generalization by learning tasks jointly and thus exploiting the similarity between the tasks rather than learning them independently of each other. While previously the relationship between tasks had to be user-defined in the form of an output kernel, recent approaches jointly learn the tasks and the output kernel. As the output kernel is a positive semidefinite matrix, the resulting optimization problems are not scalable in the number of tasks as an eigendecomposition is required in each step. \mbox{Using} the theory of positive semidefinite kernels we show in this paper that for a certain class of regularizers on the output kernel, the constraint of being positive semidefinite can be dropped as it is automatically satisfied for the relaxed problem. This leads to an unconstrained dual problem which can be solved efficiently. Experiments on several multi-task and multi-class data sets illustrate the efficacy of our approach in terms of computational efficiency as well as generalization performance

Higher-order symmetric duality in nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problems

AbstractIn this paper, a pair of nondifferentiable multiobjective programming problems is first formulated, where each of the objective functions contains a support function of a compact convex set in Rn. For a differentiable function h:Rn×Rn→R, we introduce the definitions of the higher-order F-convexity (F-pseudo-convexity, F-quasi-convexity) of function f:Rn→R with respect to h. When F and h are taken certain appropriate transformations, all known other generalized invexity, such as η-invexity, type I invexity and higher-order type I invexity, can be put into the category of the higher-order F-invex functions. Under these the higher-order F-convexity assumptions, we prove the higher-order weak, higher-order strong and higher-order converse duality theorems related to a properly efficient solution

Generalized Second-Order G-Wolfe Type Fractional Symmetric Program and their Duality Relations under Generalized Assumptions

In this article, we formulate the concept of generalize bonvexity/pseudobonvexity functions. We formulate duality results for second-order fractional symmetric dual programs of G-Wolfe-type model. In the next section, we explain the duality theorems under generalize bonvexity/pseudobonvexity assumptions. We identify a function lying exclusively in the class of generalize pseudobonvex and not in class of generalize bonvex functions. Our results are more generalized several known results in the literature

Duality in mathematical programming.

In this thesis entitled, “Duality in Mathematical Programming”, the emphasis is given on formulation and conceptualization of the concepts of second-order duality, second-order mixed duality, second-order symmetric duality in a variety of nondifferentiable nonlinear programming under suitable second-order convexity/second-order invexity and generalized second-order convexity / generalized second-order invexity. Throughout the thesis nondifferentiablity occurs due to square root function and support functions. A support function which is more general than square root of a positive definite quadratic form. This thesis also addresses second-order duality in variational problems under suitable second-order invexity/secondorder generalized invexity. The duality results obtained for the variational problems are shown to be a dynamic generalization for thesis of nonlinear programming problem.Digital copy of Thesis.University of Kashmir
