Optimality and Duality for Minimax Fractional Semi-Infinite Programming
The purpose of this paper is to consider a class of nonsmooth minimax fractional semi-infinite programming problem. Based on the concept of tangent derivative, a new generalization of convexity, namely generalized uniform invexity, is defined for this problem. For such semi-infinite programming problem, several sufficient optimality conditions are established and proved by utilizing the above defined new classes of functions. The results extend and improve the corresponding results in the literature. Subsequently, these optimality conditions are utilized as a basis for formulating dual problems. Weak, strong and reverse duality theorems are also derived for dual programs, using generalized invexity on the functions involved. Some previous duality results for differentiable minimax fractional programming problems turn out to be special cases for the results described in the paper
