Necessary optimality conditions for nonsmooth generalized semi-infinite programming problems

This paper is devoted to the study of nonsmooth generalized semi-infinite programming problems in which the index set of the inequality constraints depends on the decision vector and all emerging functions are assumed to be locally Lipschitz. We introduce a constraint qualification which is based on the Mordukhovich subdifferential. Then, we derive a Fritz-John type necessary optimality condition. Finally, interrelations between the new and the existing constraint qualifications such as the Mangasarian-Fromovitz, linear independent, and the Slater are investigated. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
