Abstract
For a constrained minimization problem in infinite dimensions, in part icular an optimal control problem, the attainment of a minimum follows if necessary Lagrangian conditions-Karush-Kuhn-Tucker or equivalently Pontryagin-are solvable, provided that a suitable invex hypothesis ho lds. Duality results are also obtained, where part of the constraint s ystem describes a curved (hyper-) surface, and the invex property is a ssumed on that surface.
