Mangasarian-Fromovitz-type constraint qualification and optimality conditions for smooth infinite programming problems

Abstract

We introduce a constraint qualification condition (GPMFCQ) for smooth infinite programming problems, where the nonlinear operator defining the equality constraints has nonsurjective derivative at the local minimum. The condition is a generalization of PMFCQ introduced by Morduhovich and Nghia. We prove the existence of Lagrange multipliers by using either Hurwicz set or Nonlinear Farkas Minkowski condition.
