The minimization model concept is defined, and its applications to nonlinear optimization are described. Necessary conditions and sufficient conditions are established for functions to have minimization models of certain types. These necessary conditions may also be thought of as properties of the optimal value functions of certain optimization problems subject to linear RHS perturbations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
