Abstract

In many cases we are concerned with the problem of solving a system of nonlinear inequalities, for example, if we have to construct a feasible initial point for an algorithm solving

$$\min \varphi (x)$$
$$x:{{f}_{i}}(x)\le 0,i=,...,m ,$$

that is a point x0∈ℝn with fi(xo) ≤ 0, i=1,…,m. Therefore, we will study now the following problem:

(1.1)Problem: Let f:ℝn → ℝm be continuously (Fréchet) differentiable.

Find x∈ℝn such that

$$f(x)\le 0$$
