Abstract:We show that for $r$-convex transformable nonlinear programming problems the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker necessary optimality conditions are also sufficient and we provide a method of solving such problems with the aid of associated $r$-convex ones.
Keywords: nonlinear programming problem, $r$-convex transformability, sufficiency, the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions
