In this paper we deal with strong Fenchel duality for infinite dimensional optimization problems where both feasible set and objective function are evenly convex. To this aim, via perturbation approach, a conjugation scheme for evenly convex functions, based on generalized convex conjugation, is used. The key is to extend some well-known results from convex analysis, involving the sum of the epigraphs of two conjugate functions, the infimal convolution and the sum formula of ε-subdifferentials for lower semicontinuous convex functions, to this more general framework.Mathematical subject classification: 52A20, 26B25.
In this work we obtain a Fenchel-Lagrange dual problem for an innite dimensional optimization primal one, via perturbational approach and using a conjugation scheme called c-conjugation instead of classical Fenchel conjugation. This scheme is based on the generalized convex conjugation theory. We analyze some inequalities between the optimal values of Fenchel, Lagrange and Fenchel-Lagrange dual problems and we establish sucient conditions under which they are equal. Examples where such inequalities are strictly fullled are provided. Finally, we study the relations between the optimal solutions and the solvability of the three mentioned dual problems.
By means of a conjugation scheme based on generalized convex conjugation theory instead of Fenchel conjugation, we build an alternative dual problem, using the perturbational approach, for a general optimization one defined on a separated locally convex topological space. Conditions guaranteeing strong duality for disturbed primal problems by continuous linear functionals and their respective dual problems, which is named stable strong duality, are stablished. In these conditions, the evenly convexity of the perturbation function will play a fundamental role. Stable strong duality will also be studied in particular for Fenchel and Lagrange primal-dual problems, obtaining a characterization for Fenchel case.
