Li and Sun [D. Li and X.L. Sun, Existence of a saddle point in nonconvex constrained optimization, J. Global Optim. 21 (2001), pp. 39--50; D. Li and X.L. Sun, Convexification and existence of saddle point in a p-th-power reformulation for nonconvex constrained optimization, Nonlinear Anal. 47 (2001), pp. 5611--5622], present the existence of a global saddle point of the p-th power Lagrangian functions for constrained nonconvex optimization, under second-order sufficiency conditions and additional conditions that the feasible set is compact and the global solution of the primal problem is unique. In this article, it is shown that the same results can be obtained under additional assumptions that do not require the compactness of the feasible set and the uniqueness of global solution of the primal problem.View full textDownload full textKeywordsconstrained nonconvex optimization, p-th power Lagrangian functions, saddle points, compactness and uniquenessAMS Subject Classifications:90C26, 90C46Related var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02331934.2011.564620
