This paper presents a unified theory on solvability of certain general
systems of inequalities involving functions expressible as the pointw
ise infimum of convex functions. The approach used to develop these so
lvability theorems relies on Minkowski duality. Extensions of Farkas'
lemma and other solvability theorems are developed, both with and with
out a regularity condition, with applications to optimization. (C) 199
