Abstract

Using an augmented Lagrangian approach, we study the existence of augmented Lagrange multipliers of a semi-infinite programming problem and discuss their characterizations in terms of saddle points. In the case of a sharp Lagrangian, we obtain a first-order necessary condition for the existence of an augmented Lagrange multiplier for the semi-infinite programming problem and some first-order sufficient conditions by assuming inf-compactness of the data functions and the extended Mangasarian---Fromovitz constraint qualification. Using a valley at 0 augmenting function and assuming suitable second-order sufficient conditions, we obtain the existence of an augmented Lagrange multiplier for the semi-infinite programming problem.
