Pd. Tao et Lth. An, STABILITY OF THE LAGRANGIAN-DUALITY IN DC (DIFFERENCE OF 2 CONVEX-FUNCTIONS) OPTIMIZATION, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 1, Mathematique, 318(4), 1994, pp. 379-384
We study the Lagrangian duality in the problem of maximizing a finite
gauge over a unit ball of another one in the general framework of d c.
optimization. We prove the stability of this duality (i. e. there is
identity between a couple of primal-dual solutions and saddle-points o
f the Lagrangian) and establish the expression of the dual objective f
unction. These results are very useful in nonconvex optimization.
