Abstract
In this study, first-order necessary optimality conditions, in the form of a weak maximum principle, are derived for discrete optimal control problems with mixed equality and inequality constraints. Such conditions are achieved by using the Dubovitskii–Milyutin formalism approach. Nondegenerate conditions are obtained under the constant rank of the subspace component (CRSC) constraint qualification, which is an important generalization of both the Mangasarian–Fromovitz and constant rank constraint qualifications. Beyond its theoretical significance, CRSC has practical importance because it is closely related to the formulation of optimization algorithms. In addition, an instance of a discrete optimal control problem is presented in which CRSC holds while other stronger regularity conditions do not.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
