Abstract

In this paper, we introduce several classes of generalized convex functions already discussed in the literature and show the relation between these classes. Moreover, a Gordan–Farkas type theorem is proved for all these classes and it is shown how these theorems can be used to verify strong Lagrangian duality results in finite-dimensional optimization.
