Although the augmented Lagrange function is not separable, suitable reformulation of this function and introduction of auxiliary variables lead to a decomposition algorithm with simple and efficient adjusting rules for upper level variables.

β¦ Synopsis
A mathematical programming problem is said to have separated nonconvex variables when the variables can be divided into two groups: x = (xl,..., x,) and y = (Yl,. β’ β’ , Yn), such that the objective function and any constraint function is a sum of a convex function of (x, y) jointly and a nonconvex function of x alone. A method is proposed for solving a class of such problems which includes Lipschitz optimization, reverse convex programming problems and also more general nonconvex optimization problems.

In this paper we study necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a set-valued optimization problem. Convexity of the multifunction and the domain is not required. A definition of K -approximating multifunction is introduced. This multifunction is the differentiability notion applied to the
