Abstract:
In this paper, we consider a reverse convex program for which we first give sufficient conditions ensuring stability. Then, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for global optimality. In particular, a necessary and sufficient optimality condition reduces the problem to a convex maximization problem constrained by a compact convex set.
