Necessary Conditions for Weak Sharp Minima in Cone-Constrained Optimization Problems

We study weak sharp minima for optimization problems with cone constraints. Some necessary conditions for weak sharp minima of higher order are established by means of upper Studniarski or Dini directional derivatives. In particular, when the objective and constrained functions are strict derivative, a necessary condition is obtained by a normal cone.

Characterizations of nonsmooth generalized polarly cone-monotone maps

In this paper we consider different types of generalized cone-mono-tone maps: polarly C-monotone, strictly polarly C-monotone, strongly polarly C-monotone, polarly C-pseudomonotone, strictly polarly C-pseudomonotone and polarly C-quasimonotone maps, where C is a cone in a finite-dimensional space Rm. We characterize these maps in the case when they are radially continuous with respect to the positive polar cone C+ of the cone C, generalizing some well known results. In the obtained theorems we use first and higher-order lower Dini directional derivatives.
