Given a non-convex optimization problem, we study conditions under which every Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) point is a global optimizer. This property is known as KT-invexity and allows to identify the subset of problems where an interior point…

Nash equilibrium is a solution concept in non-strictly competitive, non-cooperative game theory that finds applications in various scientific and engineering disciplines. A non-strictly competitive, non-cooperative game model is presented…

Storage-concerned economic dispatch (ED) problems with complementarity constraints are strongly non-convex and hard to solve because traditional Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions do not hold in this condition. In our recent paper, we…
