Non-convex programming /

The paper is concerned with the solution of the problem, minimize f sub o(x, y), subject to the constraints, f sub i(x, y) = or <0, i = 1 ..., m, when the functions f sub i(x, y) are not necessarily convex in the variables x and y. In particular, it is assumed that we may write f sub i(x, y) = h...

Description
Summary:The paper is concerned with the solution of the problem, minimize f sub o(x, y), subject to the constraints, f sub i(x, y) = or <0, i = 1 ..., m, when the functions f sub i(x, y) are not necessarily convex in the variables x and y. In particular, it is assumed that we may write f sub i(x, y) = h sub i(x) - g sub i(y), i = 0 ..., m where the h sub i(x) are convex functions of the n-vector x but nothing is assumed about the functions g sub i(y) which depend on the N-vector y. Techniques are proposed for obtaining relative optima for the general problem and global optima for certain special cases.
