On optimality conditions and duality for non-differentiable interval-valued programming problems with the generalized (<i>F</i>, <i>ρ</i>)-convexity

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Because interval-valued programming problem is used to tackle interval uncertainty that appears in many mathematical or computer models of some deterministic real-world phenomena, this paper considers a non-differentiable interval-valued optimization problem in which objective and all constraint functions are interval-valued functions, and the involved endpoint functions in interval-valued functions are locally Lipschitz and Clarke sub-differentiable. A necessary optimality condition is first established. Some sufficient optimality conditions of the considered problem are derived for a feasible solution to be an efficient solution under the $G-(F, ρ)$ convexity assumption. Weak, strong, and converse duality theorems for Wolfe and Mond-Weir type duals are also obtained in order to relate the efficient solution of primal and dual inter-valued programs.
