Abstract:
We introduce a closedness type regularity condition that characterizes the stable strong duality for convex constrained optimization problems with multi-composed objective functions and guarantees a formula for the epsilon-subdifferential of a multi-composed function, that is employed for delivering necessary and sufficient epsilon-optimality conditions that characterize $\varepsilon$-optimality solutions to multi-composed optimization problems. As a byproduct, a formula of the conjugate function of a multi-composed function is provided under a regularity condition weaker than known in the literature. We also present two possible applications of our investigations in fractional programming and entropy optimization, respectively.
