Abstract
In this paper, we employ the image space analysis to investigate a Ky Fan quasi-inequality with cone constraints. By means of the oriented distance function, a new nonlinear weak (regular) separation function is introduced. Some necessary and sufficient optimality conditions, especially, a saddle-point sufficient optimality condition for the Ky Fan quasi-inequality with cone constraints, are obtained. By virtue of the nonlinear regular weak separation function, a gap function for the Ky Fan quasi-inequality with cone constraints is obtained. Moreover, we get an error bound for the solution set of the Ky Fan quasi-inequality with respect to the gap function under strongly monotone assumptions.
