Saddle Point Optimality Criteria and Duality for Convex Continuous-Time Programming Problem

Abstract

In this paper, convex continuous-time programming problem with inequality type of constraints is considered. We derive new saddle point optimality conditions and classical duality results such as weak and strong duality properties, under additional regularity assumption. A fundamental tool, employed in the derivation of the necessary saddle point optimality criteria and strong duality result for convex continuous-time programming, is a new version of a theorem of the alternative in infinite-dimensional spaces.
