“…Suppose by contradiction thatf (x) ≺ L(u, α, λ g , λ h , λ G , λ H ), equivalently, f i (x) < f i (u), ∀i ∈ I.The above inequalities and the pseudoconvexity of f i (i ∈ I) at u tell us that∇f i (u), x − u < 0, ∀i ∈ I,which, along withi∈I α i = 1, lead to m i=1 α i ∇f i (u), x − u < 0,contradicting with(25). (ii) Assume by contradiction that f (x) L(y, α, λ g , λ h , λ G , λ H ).…”
