Weak Stationarity: Eliminating the Gap between Necessary and Sufficient Conditions

Alexander Kruger (a.krugerballarat.edu.au)

Abstract: Starting from known necessary extremality conditions in terms of strict subdifferentials and normals the notion of weak stationarity is introduced. It is defined in terms of initial space elements. The necessary conditions become necessary and sufficient (for stationarity).
