In this paper, we introduce a generalized proximal Lagrangian function for the constrained nonlinear programming problem and discuss existence of its saddle points. In particular, the local saddle point is obtained by using the second-order sufficient conditions, and the global saddle point is...

We consider a supply chain setting where multiple uncapacitated facilities serve a set of customers with a single product. The majority of literature on such problems requires assigning all of any given customer’s demand to a single facility. While this single-sourcing strategy is optimal...

In this paper a problem of scheduling a single machine under linear deterioration which aims at minimizing the number of tardy jobs is considered. According to our assumption, processing time of each job is dependent on its starting time based on a linear function where all the jobs have the...

In this work, we consider a new class of multitime multiobjective variational problems of minimizing a vector of functionals of curvilinear integral type. Based on the normal efficiency conditions for multitime multiobjective variational problems, we study duals of Mond-Weir type, generalized...
