Abstract

This paper deals with the dependence of the solutions and the associated multipliers of a nonlinear programming problem when the data of the problem are subjected to small perturbations. Sufficient conditions are given which imply that the solutions and the multipliers of a perturbed nonlinear programming problem are Lipschitzian with respect to the perturbations.
