A Note on Optimality Conditions for DC Programs Involving Composite Functions

By using the formula of the ε-subdifferential for the sum of a convex function with a composition of convex functions, some necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a DC programming problem involving a composite function are obtained. As applications, a composed convex optimization problem...

Description
Summary:By using the formula of the ε-subdifferential for the sum of a convex function with a composition of convex functions, some necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a DC programming problem involving a composite function are obtained. As applications, a composed convex optimization problem, a DC optimization problem, and a convex optimization problem with a linear operator are examined at the end of this paper.
