Abstract

We are interested in this paper to determine the properties which are, in the primal, related to the boundedness properties of the set of the Lagrange multipliers. In convex programming it is shown that it is more or less equivalent to the generealized Slater condition. From there, we generalize to Banach spaces all the results on this topic which were known for finite dimensional spaces in differentiable and locally Lipschitz programming.

Zusammenfassung

Wir untersuchen in dieser Arbeit Eigenschaften des primalen Problems im Zusammenhang mit der Beschränktheit der Menge der Lagrange-Multiplikatoren. Bei konvexen Programmen ist dies im wesentlichen gleichwertig mit der verallgemeinerten Slater-Bedingung. Von daher verallgemeinern wir alle einschlägigen Resultate aus der differenzierbaren oder der lokal Lipschitz-stetigen Optimierung von endlichdimensionalen Räumen auf Banach-Räume.
