A theorem of the alternative with an arbitrary number of inequalities and quadratic programming
arXiv:1610.00888
Abstract
In this paper we are concerned with a Gordan-type theorem involving an arbitrary number of inequality functions. We not only state its validity under a weak convexity assumption on the functions, but also show it is an optimal result. We discuss generalizations of several recent results on nonlinear quadratic optimization, as well as a formula for the Fenchel conjugate of the supremum of a family of functions, in order to illustrate the applicability of that theorem of the alternative.
