New sharp necessary optimality conditions for mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints

Optimization and Control 2019-06-25 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we study the mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) formulated as a mathematical program with a parametric generalized equation involving the regular normal cone. We derive a new necessary optimality condition which is sharper than the usual M-stationary condition and is applicable even when no constraint qualifications hold for the corresponding mathematical program with complementarity constraints (MPCC) reformulation.
