Photovoltaic (PV) generation systems have been shown to have a promising role for use in high electric-load buildings, such as the closed plant factory which is dependent upon artificial lighting. The power generated by the PV systems can be either directly supplied to the buildings or fed back...

Mathematical programs with vanishing constraints constitute a new class of difficult optimization problems with important applications in optimal topology design of mechanical structures. Vanishing constraints usually violate standard constraint qualifications, which gives rise to serious...

Set-valued optimisation is an important topic and has wide applications in engineering and game theory. An interesting topic in set-valued optimisation is the appropriate introduction of a derivative concept for set-valued mappings. In this paper, Dini directional derivatives are introduced and...

The problem of minimizing $${\tilde f=f+p}$$ over some convex subset of a Euclidean space is investigated, where f(x) = x T Ax + b T x is strictly convex and |p| is only assumed to be bounded by some positive number s. It is shown that the function $${\tilde f}$$ is strictly outer γ-convex...
