Abstract

Optimality conditions are derived for a nonlinear program in which a support function appears in the objective as well as in each constraint function. Wolfe and Mond-Weir type duals to this program are presented and various duality results are established under suitable convexity and generalized convexity assumptions. Special cases that often occur in the literature are those in which a support function is the square root of a positive semi- definite quadratic form or an Lp norm. It is pointed out that these special cases can easily be generated from our results.
