Optimization of the Optimal Value Function in Problems of Convex Parametric Programming

Abstract

We consider a problem of convex parametric programming in which the objective function and the constraint functions are convex functions of an external parameter. Computational procedures are suggested for finding the maximum and minimum values of the optimal value function and for finding inner and outer approximations to the set of parameters for which the problem is consistent. All procedures are based on the application of support functions. Illustrative examples are provided.
