Abstract
The cardinality constrained optimization problem (CCOP) is an optimization problem where the maximum number of nonzero components of any feasible point is bounded. In this paper, we consider CCOP as a mathematical program with disjunctive subspaces constraints (MPDSC). Since a subspace is a special case of a convex polyhedral set, MPDSC is a special case of the mathematical program with disjunctive constraints (MPDC). Using the special structure of subspaces, we are able to obtain more precise formulas for the tangent and (directional) normal cones for the disjunctive set of subspaces. We then obtain first and second order optimality conditions by using the corresponding results from MPDC. Thanks to the special structure of the subspace, we are able to obtain some results for MPDSC that do not hold in general for MPDC. In particular we show that the relaxed constant positive linear dependence (RCPLD) is a sufficient condition for the metric subregularity/error bound property for MPDSC which is not true for MPDC in general. Finally we show that under all constraint qualifications presented in this paper, certain exact penalization holds for CCOP.
期刊介绍:
Numerical Algebra, Control and Optimization (NACO) aims at publishing original papers on any non-trivial interplay between control and optimization, and numerical techniques for their underlying linear and nonlinear algebraic systems. Topics of interest to NACO include the following: original research in theory, algorithms and applications of optimization; numerical methods for linear and nonlinear algebraic systems arising in modelling, control and optimisation; and original theoretical and applied research and development in the control of systems including all facets of control theory and its applications. In the application areas, special interests are on artificial intelligence and data sciences. The journal also welcomes expository submissions on subjects of current relevance to readers of the journal. The publication of papers in NACO is free of charge.
