Both parametric and parameter-free necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are established for a class of nondiffer-entiable nonconvex optimal control problems with generalized fractional objective functions, linear dynamics, and nonlinear inequality constraints on both the state and control variables. Based on these optimality results, ten Wolfe-type parametric and parameter-free duality models are formulated and weak, strong, and strict converse duality theorems are proved. These duality results contain, as special cases, similar results for minmax fractional optimal control problems involving square roots of positive semi definite quadratic forms, and for optimal control problems with fractional, discrete max, and conventional objective functions, which are particular cases of the main problem considered in this paper. The duality models presented here contain various extensions of a number of existing duality formulations for convex control problems, and subsume continuous-time generalizations of a great variety of similar dual problems investigated previously in the area of finite-dimensional nonlinear programming.

In this paper, we introduce a pair of higher-order symmetric dual models/problems. Weak, strong and converse duality theorems for this pair are established under the assumption of higher-order invexity. Moreover, self duality theorem is also discussed.

In the paper, one focuses on the problem of duality in non-linear programming, applied to the solution of no-tension problems by means of Limit Analysis (LA) theorems for Not Resisting Tension (NRT) models. In details, one demonstrates that, starting from the application of the duality theory to the non-linear program defined by the static theorem approach for a discrete NRT model, this procedure results in the definition of a dual problem that has a significant physical meaning: the formulation of the kinematic theorem.

Wolfe and Mond-Weir type dual to a nondifferentiable continuous programming containing support functions are formulated and duality is investigated for these two dual models under invexity and generalized invexity. A close relationship of our duality results with those of nondifferentiable nonlinear programming problem is also pointed out.

In this paper, we introduce three new broad classes of second-order generalized convex functions, namely, ($\mathcal{F}$, $b$, ${\phi}$, ${\rho}$, ${\theta}$)-sounivex functions, ($\mathcal{F}$, $b$, ${\phi}$, ${\rho}$, ${\theta}$)-pseudosounivex functions, and ($\mathcal{F}$, $b$, ${\phi}$, ${\rho}$, ${\theta}$)-quasisounivex functions; formulate eight general second-order duality models; and prove appropriate duality theorems under various generalized ($\mathcal{F}$, $b$, ${\phi}$, ${\rho}$, ${\theta}$)-sounivexity assumptions for a multiobjective programming problem containing arbitrary norms.

The purpose of this paper is to develop an improved three-phase transformer model for ATP and parameter estimation methods that can efficiently utilize the limited available information such as factory test reports. In this paper, improved topologically-correct duality-based models are developed for three-phase autotransformers having shell-form cores. The problem in the implementation of detailed models is the lack of complete and reliable data. Therefore, parameter estimation methods are developed to determine the parameters of a given model in cases where available information is incomplete. The transformer nameplate data is required and relative physical dimensions of the core are estimated. The models include a separate representation of each segment of the core, including hysteresis of the core, ${\lambda}-i$ saturation characteristic and core loss.

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has proven to be a useful tool for assessing efficiency or productivity of organizations which is of vital practical importance in managerial decision making. While DEA assumes exact input and output data, the development of imprecise DEA (IDEA) broadens the scope of applications to efficiency evaluations involving imprecise information which implies various forms of ordinal and bounded data possibly or often occurring in practice. The primary purpose of this article is to characterize the variable efficiency in IDEA. Since DEA describes a pair of primal and dual models, also called envelopment and multiplier models, we can basically consider two IDEA models: One incorporates imprecise data into envelopment model and the other includes the same imprecise data in multiplier model. The issues of rising importance are thus the relationships between the two models and how to solve them. The groundwork we will make includes a duality study which makes it possible to characterize the efficiency solutions from the two models. This also relates to why we take into account the variable efficiency and its bounds in IDEA that some of the published IDEA studies have made. We also present computational aspects of the efficiency bounds and how to interpret the efficiency solutions.

As a suitable application of the well known generalized maximum principle of Omori-Yau, we obtain rigidity results concerning to a complete hypersurface immersed with bounded mean curvature in the $(n+1)$-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$. In our approach, we explore the existence of a natural duality between $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ and the half $\mathcal{H}^{n+1}$ of the de Sitter space $\mathbb{S}_1^{n+1}$, which models the so-called steady state space.
