We first define two restricted constraint qualifications and show how these constraint qualifications can be applied to obtain the decomposition properties of the Frechet, Mordukhovich and Clarke normal cones to the sparsity constrained feasible set. Based on the decomposition properties of the normal cones, we then present and analyze three classes of Karush-Kuhn- Tucker （KKT） conditions for the SNP. At last, we establish the second-order necessary optimality condition and sufficient optimality condition for the SNP.展开更多

The abstract iterative schemes are constructed by combining the theory of semigroups of linear operators and the method of mixed monotone iterations. Some existence results on minimal and maximal (quasi)solutions are established for abstract semilinear evolution equations with mixed monotone or mixed quasimonotone nonlinear terms. To illustrate the main results, applications to ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations are also given.展开更多
